For me integrating with the work of the others is quite evident.

I do not open now the manual of GTK/Xlib/Athena to exress myself in exact
terms, but I use generic terms, that I believe all X-windows programmers
understand.

To integrate my work with the others one does so:

1. keep from the work of the others the graphical representations (of the
notebook widget).

2. Every element of a notebook widget represent a tab, that has a pointer to
a data structure. I did not look over the code of the others, but I believe
that in their code this data structure is a frame. Drop that structure , and
replace it with the data structure <<tab>> that I explained in my previous
messages. I prefer the message passing style, that cannot be implemented in
emacs in this moment, apart from using macros, which are not a viable/smart
solution.

3. In X windows, every widget generates events. When such an event X comes
to a tab, execute the (tab :event-X), which is a lambda-expression.

4. Breef, from the work of the others , 1) keep the graphical
representations of notebook widget. 2) drop the data structure that
represents a tab and replace it with my data structure.

I do not know whether the others well see my solution, but I do not have any
other way to see the problem of integration.

What the other say ?

Thanks.
