[lazarus] GTK or XLib or Whatever

[Nicolas Aragon]

Hello,

>1. X and Y control placement.

This works for me using gtk_fixed. The code is at
http://www.clubdelphi.com/nico/ since a couple of months ago, I
remember I posted here some messages about, containing code fragments.

My only experience with events is too simple. I wonder what gtk offers
in order to handle a long process called from an event handler.

I don't think it's a terrible thing if you keep it in a particular gtk
unit. You identify gtk wrappers and Lazarus controls so...
