| | 33 | wxWindows 2 for GTK is a port of wxWindows to the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/gtk" target=_top>GTK+ toolkit</a>, |
| | 34 | which is freely available for most flavours of Unix with X. wxWindows 2 for GTK is |
| | 35 | often abbreviated to wxGTK. wxGTK has a separate home page <a href="http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~wxxt" target=_top>here</a>. |
| | 36 | <P> |

| | 38 | <h3><a name="gnome">Does wxGTK have GNOME support?</a></h3> |
| | 39 | |
| | 40 | Currently wxGTK does not have any features that would involve dependence on any desktop |
| | 41 | environment's libraries, so it can work on GNOME, KDE and with other window managers |
| | 42 | without installation hassles. Some GNOME and KDE integration features are file based, and |
| | 43 | so may be added without dependence on libraries. Other features may be supported in the |
| | 44 | future, probably as a separate library. |
| | 45 | <P> |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | <h3><a name="redhat">Warning about GTK libraries supplied with RedHat</a></h3> |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | It seems that some versions of RedHat include a badly patched version of GTK (not wxGTK) |
| | 50 | which causes some trouble with wxWindows' socket code. Common symptoms are that when |
| | 51 | a client tries to establish a connection to an existing server which refuses the request, |
| | 52 | the client will get notified twice, first getting a LOST event and then a CONNECT event. |
| | 53 | This problem can be solved by updating GTK with an official distribution of the library. |
| | 54 | <P> |
