This should really go into the MonkeyX discussion.

As I was looking around for something for dealing with cross platform requester's. I came across this. and this.
I've not explored these yet as it's late.

For Linux. Trying to do a native Gtk+ requester version for MonkeyX was a pain; and hard to check for memory leaks with all the noise that valgrind emitted. Plus the fact that you could not release the memory after Gtk was initialised. The excuse was that it was more efficient for creating additional windows as you wouldn't have to reinitialise table etc. This maybe OK if you are writing a full blown Gtk application, but no good if the main process only need to do one dialog box etc. I just think that they didn't care that much as the OS would do the cleaning up after the process was killed.
