Guys, I sent the following message to the gtk-app-dev mail-list, but the only reply I received was a suggestion that I should ask at the gtk-devel list.
Here is my message: I am the founder and current maintainer of Puppy Linux, and I am porting Puppy to run on the ARM architecture. Puppy can be built using binary packages from another distro, and I am currently using the Ubuntu Lucid Lynx arm debs. Success, I have a desktop, the apps work. However, there is one big show-stopper. We use a utility called 'gtkdialog', which is like zenity and yad, for creating GUI windows from shell scripts. Lots of apps in Puppy use gtkdialog. The problem is that gtkdialog renders the widgets in a window in reverse order. That is, a widget that should be bottom-right, draws top-left. These snapshots show the problem: http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02809 This is a generic problem, it happens everytime, for all apps that use gtkdialog. I sent an email to the current maintainer of gtkdialog, but not yet any reply, and there is a note on the project page that development is on hold: http://code.google.com/p/gtkdialog/ However, I am sure that this problem is something that a gtk developer would recognise the solution to immediately. If one of you guys can advise me about this, it will be greatly appreciated!
