You're missing a layer there. GDK expects to run on top of
a windowing system, not a graphics library. You need it to
provide the usual GUI things like multiple overlapping
windows and event management.
Font and palette management ar euseful too, though they can
I believe, be done inside GDK if your platform doesn't provide
the necessary functionality itself.
MAtthew.
