I am wondering if putting that procedure into TControl would really be so bad. I
am guessing that it wouldn't hurt as long as it only calls the windowsint units
to do anything that is specific to the API. If it does not need to do anything
in the gtkint unit, then it can just be an empty function in gtkint. This would
allow you to add the procedure you need to make it work in Windows without
breaking the gtk code. You would just need to make sure that the function made
calls to the windows API only through the windowsint units. Is that possible?

I don't completely understand the problem, so I may be way off base here.
