Local Setup Cache

[Robert Collins]

Norman,
    FLTK sees to require a _lot_ more effort on the part of the programmer,
larger recreating the wheel. (ie handling a window resize has to be done by
hand). Whats the advantage of that wxWindows?

If FTLK can do effective MDI-style windows under X, I'm quite willing to put
in extra effort (wxWindows does that very poorly), but otherwise I see
little reason to spend tie writing window management code instead of .rc
manipulation code.

(I've attached a test case that in theory shows three windows with fltk,
perhaps you can tell me where I'm going wrong.)
