The problem is that I have to do things under both mswindows and
about 3
variants of widgets under X. It always works for me under windows (hence
generally no complaints on xemacs-nt) but for the X stuff I have to rely on
other people to report problems.
With all this work going into embeddeable widgets, tabs and stuff,
doesn't this raise again the question if it is really such a good
decission to support 3 (or more with variants) widget sets under X??
I know that gtk lacks the convenient foundation on Xt, so I have no
real hope that it could be used without much work (which I basically
can't comment on, as I don't know Xt or Motif nor how much XEmacs depends on e.g.
the Xt eventloop).
But can anybody comment on the state of the lucid widget set? is there
anybody who really understands them anymore today? Couldn't they be
extented to be usuable as a single working solution without the need
to mix in e.g. Motif?
Or making lesstif the single supported solution?
Maybe anybody can also comment, just for my information, what exactly
had to be done to maybe switch over to gtk.
