Hi,

This is FYI.

The most serious gap in guile-gtk found so far when translating the
tutorials (14/42 done) is the lack of support for coded-in xpms.

By this I mean C code like
/* XPM data of Open-File icon */
static const char * xpm_data[] = {
"16 16 3 1",
"       c None",
".      c #000000000000",
"X      c #FFFFFFFFFFFF",
"                ",
"   ......       ",
"   .XXX.X.      ",
...

and use of gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d().  Also, there isn't a direct
equivalent to the simple pixmap file part of the buttons example.

Alex

PS The tutorial examples are available from:

and the file PROGRESS therein gives a list of issues with guile-gtk.
