This isn't trivial. As Stephen said, X provides the basics for graphical development; it doesn't provide any fancy schmancy stuff like menus, push buttons, etc. That's done by such things as Motif, xforms, Qt, etc. Converting an X program from one such library to another is a less than easy task.. so any attempt to produce a "uniform" interface is going to fail. Simple as that. "It's a nice idea, but..." :-) -- This message was distributed manually by [EMAIL PROTECTED] after the list initially failed to distribute it.
