The difference is that GTK+ in C requires you to think about it. And you will make a mistake that will be difficult to debug. But with gtkmm you don't need to think about it and you can't get it wrong. (There are plenty of other things you can get wrong instead, in any language.) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
