Olivier Galibert <galibert(a)pobox.com&gt; writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: Motif is broken. It has always been broken in numerous ways. Even worse, it killed off a perfectly logical and infinitely better GUI (IMO). gtk is hopelessly broken. It is useless to hold up as a model of good design. If GNOME/GTK are examples of thought-out and good design, I am truly ashamed to be a programmer. I'd be happy to change my assessment of GTK if someone would point in the documentation where it is possible for the user to change key bindings. I'll revisit GNOME when I return to the US next month, but the betas I was attempting to compile in January repeated many mistakes that I thought Linux had outgrown years ago. Qt too? I don't recall having this problem in Nethack with qt-1.3? and it wasn't broken in the same way Motif and GTK are the last time I looked at it, but I might be mistaken. I like Qt, but I wish it wasn't locked into C++ and that's a different issue.
