Not Wojcieh here, but... if you could propose something which is less of a monster than Gtk of Qt, I'd be all ears! Nearly 20 years ago I made a couple of Gtk applications (Gtk2 back then), one of which is still in use. Having followed Gtk's development, nowadays I'd pass, thankyouverymuch. Today, I think I'd go with Tk or something. Cheers -- t
