Simply because gtk+ support is newer and still not finished. >From the README: Gtk+ is not as sophisticated as Motif, and the port is still somewhat new, so there are a number of differences and rough-edges in that version of Snd. The primary differences are 1) Gtk+ paned-window widget only accepts two panes. This means that simple boxes are used throughout rather than panes. 2) Gtk+ colors are a bottomless pit; colors may or may not work right. 3) Gtk+ file selection dialog's filter is restricted to a simple string using "*" -- the just-sounds button of Motif, and the associated sound file extension list are omitted. When I asked him the last time if gtk+ 2.0 support is already better then gtk+ 1.2 one, he said no - and that he's thinking about removing gtk-support from snd altogether, because gtk is such a mess... And after telling him that for snd this would mean to be removed from the main distribution, he said that he would prefer no snd to gtk+ snd. regards, Stefan -- Wanna listen to my music? <------ ----> http://www.shockfrosted.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
