XAWT: First useable (visible) results...

[Clemens Eisserer <linuxhippy at web dot de>]

Hi there!

Today I really worked really very hard, but at about 8 o´clock (evening) 
it worked: An emplty Frame showed up!!
I attached a screenshot froma sample app. (This was the only awt-stuff I 
had althought bigger things should be no problem)

Most things already work, like Buttons, ScrollPanes, Labels, 
EventListeners, GridBagLayout..., there are still problems with 
image-loading.
Till now everything is still JNI, I want to have everything working 
before I start a CNI port .

I also know that the L&F is still not really nice, but it should not be 
hard to make xawt skinnable.

There is also another problem, there are errors, but the app still works.
Could you explain me please what GIJ wants to tell me:

@Per Bothner: Even using GTK as underlaying layer for GTK doesnt help to 
make apps look like native.
Because AWT only has few widgets and all modern java-toolkits are 
lightweight. I´m sure someday there also will be a free SWING 
implementation - there are already many other free lightweight-tolkits - 
awt-widgets will be obsolete. Then GTK will only be a layer which will 
slow down drawing.
