I know nothing about glib/gtk. Currently Vim's Windows support is quite good. I don't want to see this change with large features available only on Linux. I don't have the Linux option at work where I use Vim the most. I know I've seen GTK apps on Windows, so maybe it's not as much an issue as I fear. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
