The graphical toplevel does not depend on labltk, so the two issues

http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=3052, but this might be pure
FUD. The real problem is that nobody seems interested enough in this
graphical toplevel to put serious work on it.
I beg to differ. In my experience, the Graphics module is a wonderful
tool to get non-programming beginners interested in OCaml. I have been
in the position of teaching OCaml to beginners, and the single thing
they remember and found *fun* was displaying the mandelbrot fractal, and
then playing with different color functions to get fancy results.
We were discussing the graphical toplevel (OCamlWin.exe), not the
Graphics module. The two are unrelated.
