Hi,
I'm having little luck choosing a windowing environment to run, there
are so many of them. I just don't have the luxury of getting each
one, and doing a little programming under each until I figure out the
strengths and weakness of each. Hope it's OK if I ask a couple
questions:
1. if I write a program that will run under, say, GTK+ or wXWindows
or sawmill or flwm, etc etc, that program will only run under that
window manager, right? So if I want to share my program, only people
running the same window manager can use it, right?
2. if I want to share it with Sun users running Solaris, I will have
to use either GTK+ (with GNOME) or Motif, since those are the new and
old Sun-sanctioned environments, right?
3. I use C++, not C. How do I decide which window managers work best
for object oriented programming? I've read here that Motif is very
unfriendly to OO C++.
Thanks very much,
Jim
