First off, I don't appreciate people reading my mind.  Especially when
they are wrong.  Me and Christof have e-mailed and talked about it.  I
understand glade, gtk, and gtk--.  I am sorry you took my statements so
negitively.  I am not hear to start a flame war.  I was interested in his
responses just as much as you.  Yes, the subject matter was getting off
topic (as this thread).  I just wanted to voice my opinion about wrappers,
most of which still stands.

So, please, don't assume what I am thinking (because I know you can't read
minds).  Secondly,  if you would watch ALL the e-mail in this group, some
of my statements I recanted.  I'm sorry you think so lowly of me when you
don't even know me except for a couple of posts.

Enough said,
Matt
