I have red a few times that thread, that Owen started five years ago, and apparently there is agreement in the essentials: 1) remove all the fat from Gtkglext, namely the wrapper functions discussed in that thread, make it a small library that cares only for opengl integration, that works in the X window system but also in Windows and Mac OS X, exactly as Gtk. 2) change the name, for example to Gtkglarea 2.0*, the legitimate sucessor to Gtkglarea 1 (the last version of Gtkglarea that I downloaded last week is 1.99 and still comes with gtk_signal_connect and other Gtk 1.2* functions deprecated long ago) 3) make it an official (but optional) Gtk library, downloadble from www.gtk.org. I believe this would make Gtk more appealing, particularly for scientific/engineering/architecture applications.
