What worries me about this is we'd then require GLib (we currently don't, if Gtk+ peers aren't used). Saying that, this is the preferred way of handling this, it just depends on how big an issue the current implementation is and whether someone steps up for this for GSoC. -- Andrew :-) Document Freedom Day - March 26th http://documentfreedom.org Support Free Java!
