I looked through it. Please keep development-discussions on this list,
as people (or at least me) don't check the forums as often as new mails,
so it might take a while until your post is noticed...

The idea sounds great. AFAIK the gtk-xmhtml team intends to do the same
with gtk-xmhtml(make a HTML-widget that can be used by lots of
programs). 

I've never written a Gtk+ widget, neither am I a Gtk+ Guru or something,
but I had a short look at the "Writing Your Own Widgets" chapter of the
Gtk+ tutorial, and the code there seemed quite familiar to me. If I am
not mistaken Express already has a widget for 'browser', 'bwindow' and
'alert'...

I wrote a 'developers wanted'-type of news-article on Sourceforge
yesterday, maybe some good Gtk+ programmer is interested in developing
express and helping out in this area.

Or if anyone on the list has a deeper knowledge of Gtk+, I'd be pleased
to get some enlightenment :-)
