:-) Fortunately, you can build an entire economy on it, because every 
solution creates a new problem...

Added a logic! element to the dialect for GTK windows to support 
their ability to be non-resizable

Any chance of doing a youtube video on a demo?

That would be a nice opportunity for someone to contribute :-)
No offence, but I have so many bindings to do, that I have decided 
to focus on that, instead of things such as writing documentation
Right now, one of the parts of the videos of the last SylCon shows 
me demoing the Red/System GTK widgets as they were then, I think. 
It must be one of the last videos
I don't think Bas has published them yet:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL904CC146DCD27762
Most of the Red demo is in part 9:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnYa5_-1n7E&list=PL904CC146DCD27762&index=3
It discusses 0MQ and shows SDL and GTK, but it's a primitive Hello 
World example when the GTK binding was only a week old, and callbacks 
in Red weren't fixed yet

Nice presentation! :)
BTW, do you plan to make a small documentation on the GTK+ binding 
API and/or a dedicated web page?

Thanks. I'm limiting the documentation to the examples for now. I 
have to choose between writing documentation or more bindings, and 
I need the bindings
Part 8 has a discussion of the PeterPaint SDL example on Syllable 
Desktop, but the video is very bad during the demo:

Implemented TEXT and AREA styles, based on the GTK text view widget

If someone following Red progress would have time to write a small 
doc on the GTK+ binding API, I think that would really help.

I can't implement things such as GTK sliders and progress bars, because 
they use floats
That's a pity, because Jaromil requested slider and file selector 
widgets from me. When he has those, he can start using Red for a 
GUI for his Tomb security tool
Implemented INFO style, as a non-editable GTK line entry widget

I understand the frustration...If it could be added in 2-3 days, 
I would add it now, but a complete support would require much more 
time. I will try next week to make a more accurate evaluation of 
all the additions and changes required in Red/System compiler for 
supporting float numbers.

Cool
Implemented SECRET style, for hiding entering passwords and such
Both single and double precision floats will be necessary to interface 
with other subsystems

And that can't be done by linking to a math library?
Kaj

How would you communicate values?
Implemented activate action for FIELD and SECRET styles, so that 
they can respond to pressing the enter key

According to Twitter message, Doc got simple program compiling and 
running on Linux ARM. Nice and congrats :-)

Is there any significance to the code compiled?

It's the minimum program
And the meaning of life, of course

Anyone have experience using Vincent Ecuyer's "rewbzip.r" from the 
script library? 

I'm having trouble unzipping a very large db file (150+ megs). It 
works for smaller zips...anyone know if there is a limit on file 
size?
rebzop.r

The note in the manual in 6.3.3 still speaks about callback instead 
of cdecl

Implemented all the needed GTK constructs and a convenience function 
for actually extracting the text content from an AREA widget
Kaj
26-Oct-2011
[3631x3]
Added dynamic scroll bars to the AREA widget and normalised its appearance 
like other input widgets
It's quite usable now, but it's challenging to make it easy to program 
in the GTK environment
The obvious defaults and accessors that you would expect often aren't 
there

Thanks. I've upgraded the Fossil server for the binding repositories 
to 1.20
