This is probably all very obvious, but in my experience (a 100 kloc GTK+ app in C): - make your own widgets - model/view is a very useful, and in fact hard to over-use - avoid complex class hierarchies - connect things together with signals rather than function calls where you can - if I were to start again, I think I'd do most of the gross structure in Python and just have C for the lower levels - actually I'd consider clutter - but of course making heavy use of technologies like that which are still somewhat in flux and rather new sets you up for a lot of problems with distribution and maintenance John _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
