Okeydokey, but then what is the purpose of TQt? I would like to see us formally address both questions in the wiki. I admit I remain confused about the whole picture. :( I would like to see a good writeup on the wiki discussing the technical details. In any such public discussion we probably want to qualify your Qt4 observations. I have no reason to doubt your technical assessment of Qt4, nor am I qualified, but such statements deserve technical discussion. Possibly some benchmarks too. Otherwise fanboys and self-appointed nannies will raise a ruckus, regardless of the merits of such statements. Not that I care about fanatics, but you know the drill. :) BTW, I have seen GTK supporters make similar statements about GTK1 versus GTK2, claiming GTK1 was much faster than GTK2. As a side comment, in many ways my Windows for Workgroup 3.11 with the Norton Desktop on my 16 MB 486 machine (still runs!) is faster than any modern desktop environment. I have that same environment cloned on a PI class machine and the system screams. Hardware might improve at 2x the capacity every 18 months, but software seems to get 2x slower. :) Darrell
