Holy crap is all I can say. Reading through the comments I could see how that would work, but I'd definitely want to put that in a sandbox and have *lots* of people test out their applications using the new code base in a way where we could just trash it if things start to get too wonky. --- Completely off topic, I've just switched employers and I don't know how much I'll be working with Gtkmm in the future. So if I seem to disapear, its not caues I died or anything.
