Well, but don't make the mistake to use coordinates at all.
Delphi programs are very fast to develop, but a pain to i18n! 

But that is not what I wanted to say ;) One of my dreams (that
means: started twice, and failed because of lack of time) has
always been to develop a RAD IDE for KDE using Python (not
necessaryly for the IDE, but for the developed programs). This
should make application development really fast. And with the
new pyKDE, it could be easier than before. Perhaps you might
consider this approach?


Bye,
