Sure but I don't think it's all that helpful. It all depends on gtk really. On every system I have ever seen, GTK appearance is retained, as well as themability, etc. This means that using GEM widgets would be technically incorrect and may not work so well. I think a lot of GTK2 apps are interesting enough that it probably won't work. gnucash for example. The gtk widgets and layout have a LOT of flexibility. I have doubts that for instance every gtk widget is implemented in a suitable capacity in gem (and especially windom/dfrm). I suspect the best approach is to use the gem window frames and use straight gdk->vdi conversions to draw the window contents, just like the X server. You could certainly start with this easier method and then add on the DFRM part to see how well it works. It's surely an interesting idea.I know very little about Windom/DFRM and nothing about GTK but I wonder if it could be used as a mapping layer ? I suppose it depends on the methodology of the two systems. Peter
