...when I was working on the widget packing I noticed that the maximum number of widgets Gtkdialog accepted was 256 (16^) so I've increased it to 529 (23^)....

I just finished catching up on this thread and it's great what you've done, really excellent work both the features and documentation -- I see you've also added the html docs, which I thought of suggesting (I hope you deleted the old texinfo stuff...).

Dougal wrote:I do have one nitpick, though: your examples are really good and detailed, but have one problem: readability.
Since you use functions to auto-generate the pseudo-XML code, when an example is run it is not possible to look at the bit of code that produces a certain widget (and copy-paste it...), which I consider to be one of the main points of the examples.

Dougal wrote:Other than that, I'll have to wait until the next time I use gtkdialog (and learn all the new widgets...) to see if I have any more suggestions... (but if you get bored and aren't listening to Hell, JWM needs some love!)

I have a script with two entry boxes that can accept input directly, by chooser, or drag and drop from a Rox window.
Using drag and drop, when I open a directory using ROX, I end up having to reposition the window of my script to have the entry boxes visible for the drag and drop.

I fight this with ROX as even after using Puppy for a number of years, I still do not know if there is a command to snap two windows into a side by side layout.

technosaurus wrote:Speaking of xdotool, there are quite a few frontends that use gtkdialog along with it, to provide controls. I tried (unsuccessfully) using "tabbed" from suckless.org for its xembed capabilities to put the controls together, but it would be nice to have xembed in gtkdialog directly. The ones that come to mind are vlc-gtk and possibly a webkitgtk browser or a mupdf viewer. I think these are gtkplug and gtksocket.
