This seems to be the >way that most programs of this sort work (for example - dia). GnomeCanvas. Despite its name, its really a GtkWidget that requires no part of GNOME other than what GTK already requires. Dia uses its own modified version of GnomeCanvas. Likewise for Sodipodi. And for my project (http://ardour.org), we use an older version of the Canvas that was backported to be a pure Gtk widget - we will upgrade to GTK2 in the very near future. --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
