Hm, ok. So from the two votes I assume that it might actually be a good 
idea to get rid of the prefixes and use hierachical module names. I'll 
wait with the conversion another two month until people have upgraded to 
GHC-5.04.

Cheers,
Axel.

I would vote yes to a conversion. Hirearchical modules were present
already in ghc 5.02, so having gtk widgets in separate hierarchical
modules would be very possible for 5.02 users.

As for the changes necessary to compile on 5.04, if it's not too much
trouble, please branch the cvs or make the patch available somewhere
else.

Regards,

	Martin

The cvs version should compile on 5.04. If it doesn't I skrew up two weeks 
ago when I fixed it.

Please yell if you have any problems!
