Hi Walt,  yes,  I realize the difference between the lists,  my
original post was because I was interested in contributing to the
GTK+ toolkit level development,  and I was interested in where the
future plans,  proposed or needed features,  and timelines were
documented.  If one is versed in development of applications WITH
GTK+,  I think it might be obvious where the weaknesses were,  but
I have not yet started down that path.  Perhaps I should do that
first...  I would like to find the best reference to the GTK+ object
model,  in it's current incarnation and where it's going in the future,
how this overlaps with the GNOME toolkits (like the GnomeCanvas issue),
the Bonobo object model,  GtkExtra stuff.  What the toolkit can do,
can't do,  and can do better.  I am not quite sure if I would best
fit at the GTK+ layer,  or GNOME toolkit layer/Bonobo stuff.  If I knew
the plans of where GTK+ was going,  I could start picking things to
start hacking on.  And interesting issue would br GTK+ feature parity
with Qt, if it is not already ahead...  ;-)
