Ah, f*ck! That's really excellent work, Jol! :) You can move & resize
the window, close it (it closes the application) and it works
flawlessly! The outscreen crash can easily be fixed by using a
drawing_area. Of course, actual windows won't be a set of lines, but
themes as before ;) Other problems include:
-You can resize a windows "negatively" horizontally (that is, it gets
inverted if you resize it to the left too much)
-It crashes it you reduce the vertical size of the window too much.

Nothing serious though, and I'm very glad to see how well it turned out
(I'm the most impressed that the mouse input is working properly, too
;))

I've talked with Jol, who will now work to finish the font stuff. It
really shouldn't be hard to convert the old ones to TT.

Alex.
