i hear sf subscribers can do that, but i'm not sure, i'm not one.

you submitted a win32 patch. those take longer to get a responce, 
because no one actually uses win32.

not quite true, i assigned your patch to our only win32 guy.

new to gtk is fine. just don't add gtk to any file that doesn't have gtk 
in its name. you may also add gtk to plugins that already have gtk in 
them, but not to plugins that don't. 

what are you working on?

Right now I'm mostly looking at RFE 488631 [improved chat invite]. 
Partly it's a feature I miss, partly it's a feature no one else seems to 
have felt worth coding [original submission date is 2001-12-03], so if I 
take awhile playing with GTK instead of actually getting the feature 
working, no one is really waiting on me.

I'm also keeping my eyes open for other bugs & RFEs I might want to work on.
