You misunderstand me. I mean that motif has 75% of the widget set that windows does, and athena 50%. I'm sure all have their share of bugs and weirdness and in some ways I am more familiar with Motif than I am with windows. But writing widgets or debugging half written ones really sucks. And the smiley meant that I knew it was a copout :) > there are no dialog boxes written using the code except Edit->Find. > there are tons of redisplay bugs in the widgets, even in Windows. running > Edit->Find, a see a bunch of flashing and resizing at the beginning, which > should not be there. run your glyph-tests.el and you see lots of > weird problems > [some are fixed in my glyph ws]. > accelerators don't work in Edit->Find. > hitting Enter in the text field doesn't do anything. > hitting Esc does not cancel Edit->Find. > etc. etc. The question was what about the _progress bars_ would make them acceptable. Not what needs fixing in the widget support. We both know all of the above and have discussed them at length. I am asking for user feedback about what works for them and what doesn't. I know that for Martin nothing visual is pleasing to him, but others may have different opinions.
