Re: GTK emebedded

Let's not get too off-base here.  They have said that they comply with the 
LGPL as it relates to changes to GTK+, and stated how they are complying.  

I'm still curious why they felt "clean room" techniques were necessary 
to reimplement a proprietary GDK, since the LGPL would clearly allow them 
to link it with their proprietary server anyway.  But since we a superior
method of doing this kind of thing is already in v1.3, it probably doesn't 
matter very much.
