Re: [Texmacs-dev] native and GPL port of QT to win32

[Dan Martens]

Don't worry about modifying the code on my account.  As a matter of fact, the 
less you modify it, the less I will have to modify the new code in the future.  

Oh, I have one question regarding the code.

When exactly do you display the menu and other canvas widgets??  Is it before 
the first call to XNextEvent, or is it after when you start to build the 
clipping regions?? Any information regarding the GUI process may save me some 
time.

Just so you know, I have everything *working* in the startup phase up until the 
point when you build the first region.  All X calls required up until this 
point have been written to use Win32.
