--well, nutshell, in ~ 3 weeks, i'm starting to see how gtk works.

i just learned that TRUE == 1 and not 0.  i haven't used the access()
call in awhile.  i am trying to catch catch errors before they crop
up.

the way i see my application being used, there won't be   any xterms
or konsoles open to print a stderr or stdout.  So: is there a way in
gtk to have a message dialog open that prints warning or whatever to
the new user?

misc and a question...

2011-12-28 Thread Gary Kline

 ... due to people on this list who have been patient and
'splained things ... and who have NOT said: 'go read the man page'
--well, nutshell, in ~ 3 weeks, i'm starting to see how gtk works.  

i just learned that TRUE == 1 and not 0.  i haven't used the access()
call in awhile.  i am trying to catch catch errors before they crop
up.

the way i see my application being used, there won't be   any xterms
or konsoles open to print a stderr or stdout.  So: is there a way in
gtk to have a message dialog open that prints warning or whatever to
the new user?

thanks,

gary
