It might be more work but it puts total control of the FCL output in OUR
hands. Otherwise we are trying to write widgets in FPC that call widgets
in another package. In GTK case the widgets we are calling aren't even
OOP. Doing it this way in no way hinders anyone from also using FPC or
the FCL with their favorite API (GTK, Qt, etc) it just means they don't
have to. They would most likely be able to create a complete GUI program
that could be delivered with out the requirement of any additional
libraries except those that are part of X11 in the first place.

I inclined to try and climb up this particular barking tree.  :-)

Any more opinions??????
