Wonderful stuff isn't it :)

I've been chatting on the phone to Miguel de Icaza for a few weeks
now.  He's the Chairman and CTO of Helixcode.  The people who do this
stuff.

He's working on all sorts of things that are absolutely amazing.  For
example the Star Office suite is being re-written and will be
available as Open Office eventually. The Bonobo components and other
things will allow greater choice at installation time thus making the
installation smaller for those who want it that way.   The present So
5.2 release does allow this to happen but greater flexibility is
thought to be desirable.  So, all those critics out there can just go
and suck eggs when it happens.

If you get the Wrox GTK+ book then it all becomes easy to understand
very quickly.  Have a look at our Wrox book review page if you want to
know more.

Thanks
