Re: GTK+ Patch

Top level comment.

Yes I think that the Quartz rendering model will work. Most of what
they are using was added after the gtk port was in and its not been
upgraded to use the new stuff. I did a little bit when the new paint
methods where added.


Also the even handling is still probably mucked up. The biggest thing
we are missing a a concept of nested windows if we could have child
windows then the code is a lot cleaner.
