I'm sure you know this - but it's perhaps worth noting for the sake of those who
don't, that gstep-gui is not designed to be an X11 toolkit (which is what xgps
and
xdps are), but to be a cross-platform toolkit able to efficiently work with a
variety of relatively simple backend toolkits.
Certainly the API is totally un-X-like, which is perhaps a reason why we have
few
developers (and a reason why we have those of us that wqe do have).
