Dear Insight developers and friends,

With the increasing acceptance of GTK+ and GNOME in many *ix systems, Insight may have to follow the pack and become more consistent with the GNOME look-and-feel and somehow migrate to use GTK+ in some form.

There are currently 3 different possible approaches:

1) Use gnocl (loosely modeled after TK)
2) Use tcl-gtk (just wraps GTK, or any other GObject based library)
3) add a GTK+ port to TK itself

If you are really interested in option #3, you might want to take a look
at Tcl tip 48. The code to implement this tip was accepted into Tk 8.4,
so if you are considering option #3 you might want to take a look at it.

Thank you very much for the reference Mo. I will most certainly be investigating this.

Best regards,
Fernando
