I like wxWidget too. I wonder if it would be possible to promote wxWidget by
releasing a version of wxWidget for each window manager. Eg: the gnome
version would bind with gtk+ AND gnome widgets, the KDE version of wxWindow
would use qt AND KDE widget, and so, each Window manager community could
release its own version of wxWidget with their look'n feel and widgets so the
wx lib would be used in correlation with the currently used desktop.
Hum... I don't know if I'm explaining my idea the good way. It looks silly
when I read it back.
