Re: xemacs/gtk
Doing the Qt work would be easier because of the Xt support. The
reason I
ended up doing the GTK port were because part of the port was also doing
the language bindings. This would have been more difficult with Qt, as
It seems
that Kde has more or less solved the problem
see for example this news about dcop and kparts
http://www.kde.org/news_dyn.html#967015898
there is one example of python bindings and c bindings are on the way
well as requiring a C++ compiler, and the licensing issues (real or
imagined). The xemacs-beta archives should have some of this discussion as
it
seems that Qt2.2 goes GPL according to LinuxPlanet
and there are already some nice reactions
http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reports/2269/1/
well as the doc at
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/gui-xemacs/arch.html
thanks for the pointer,
it's very interesting
as for gtk being the default toolkit for 21.2, that would be nice
