  Yes, most applications seem to leave bottom panel visible. See screenshot

  Sad story :(

  Yes, it seem that such mechanism is needed. Can I help you something... to make it work?

  Did, as you've said. Really. Nothing changed. In design-time I see my russian chars properly (UTF-8 locale), but on WinCE those symbols (seems WinCE wants cp1251 charset?)

  Hm. I didn't catch you. Wince (windows mobile) uses wince widgetset? Why Gtk1 problems appear?
