Life was a bit busy so I forgot to say "the GTK port of Emacs is brilliant!" So I'm going to say it now: The GTK port of Emacs is brilliant. Well done to everybody involved in hacking it. A related question: what are the views about allowing Emacs to create GTK objects directly? I know it is generally frowned upon to export native window system primitives into Emacs but because GTK is a GNU lib maybe there could be an exception. William Perry already wrote some code for XEmacs which could maybe serve as a guide? http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/gui-xemacs/ -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk
