Of course we should. However, I do not think that qt2/3 per se is the reason (although I agree that the qt2 compatibility is a chock). I think establishing the new frontend has undergone several steps: 1. implement it (almost similar to the "base" frontend, i.e. xforms). That's 1.3. 2. polish it, remove more and more the limitations of the base frontend, and try to be a little different. That's 1.4 3. Really try to use the ressources and functionality of the toolkit. That is still to be done. I have the impression that the GTK implementation is going on quite similar. Of course, it would not have o be this way, and it could have been evolved faster. But that's a question of human ressources. Jürgen
