Considered that, thanks. These aren't informative, they're dialogue widgets of one or another kind, and I hadn't gotten the connection. They need to pass their information, do their thing, and then go away, as a new instance will be needed each time. I think. Also, I think they need not to be modal, because the user may want to consult other stuff in the process, and hanging things up would be a real Bad Idea. Finally got some response here, and its valuable! Thanks all, Bill Tallman _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
