I've used ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php to
bring jpegs into cairo surfaces which is similar. They have an api that
lets you decode a file to a memory buffer directly. Pay close attention
to the different pixel formats. Here is some code that will embarrass
me. I pulled
Please, please, please don't switch to UTF-16. To me gtk is about
getting to use technologies that are "solid", "real", "fun", and
"effective". Principally, that means C and *nix. UTF-8 is the greatest
thing for one reason that kills all the others: solid compatibility with
both of the above. I

Hi Larry,
Yeah, I know of this func. gtk_window_set_keep_above(). But this will make the
window stay 'Always on Top', which will get annoying, as this is not a
conscious decision by the user. The GTK+ API doc. warns us of this as "Note

Hi,
I have written a thesaurus using GTK+. It registers itself for a event callback
with X Server for
a set hot key combination. When I get the call from X, I pop up the
thesaurus' main window with the word looked up. Everything works fine,
but to pop up the window from the system tray, I call the
