Not in the least. GTK was written mainly for use by "C". We are using
wrappers to access this code which isn't always the easiest to do.
Expecially if we are going to continue to try and keep the LCL, API
independent. If we were to code the LCL and Lazarus as strickly a GTK
product then many of things you want to do would be more easily
accomplished.

As I mentioned in the other email. Please be clear that it never passes
any events just notification that the event took place and was handled.

Again this is what I have been trying to tell you. It can look like
Delphi and you can code standard stuff like Delphi you just can't extend
it like Delphi.

Also we never intended this to be a Delphi clone in it's entirity. A
Delphi replacement, maybe.
