After looking through the gnome front end, and having learnt a bit more
about C++ inheritence I'm finally grasping how the gnome front end works
and why it is a good thing to do this. My future gtk dialogs will do the
right thing with regards to _constructWindow and _constructWindowContents.
The gnome front end needs to write its own _constructWindow but it can use
_constructWindowContents from the gtk dialog. Then all the gtk front end
needs are the static call back functions cut and pasted from the gtk code
and some code in runModeless (I'm only doing Modeless dialogs from now
on :-) also cut and pasted from the gtk dialog. The gnome front end can
just inherit the class callback functions from the gtk front end. Very
nice. I'm finally grasping why C++ is better than C!
Cheers
Martin
