So you can create a gtk app in batch or TTY mode. The only oddity is that you cannot use XEmacs glyphs as GdkPixmap or GdkBitmap types (TTY/batch mode has no glyph converters). I will check this code in when I get home late tonight. Strange... I think this is fixed with the changes I have here. There is a chicken & egg problem with creating a scrolled window and expect it to have default adjustments. Because gtk_adjustment_new has not been called, the type is not registered with the object system, so it screams when I try to convert 'nil' to an unknown type. *sigh* I work around this by just creating & destroying a GtkAdjustment before I call anything else in the test code. -Bill P.
