is there any chance that we could get a tiny modification made to gdk so that it would support an X Display opened outside of gdk? i've already written the code, and it involves a totally insignificant modification to gdk_open_display() in gdkdisplay-x11.c. rather than call XOpenDisplay(), we just accept the Display* as an argument. this allows us to write plugin UIs and mix-and-match toolkits (assuming i can find out how to get Qt to do the same thing). also, i find that i cannot close the original display opened by GTK/GDK, even after resetting the default to my new "foreign" one. is this likely to just be a bug, or is it outside the scope of the design of GDK at this time. right now, it segfaults in a lookup of the property lists for the display. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
