A program started from Explorer or a Command Prompt is no more or less "native" than one started from a MSYS shell. GTK certainly has no way to find out whether the program was started from Explorer or a MSYS shell. What might be different is that you have a different PATH in the two cases, and get different installed versions of GTK? Please check. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
