Alain,

  I'll answer by parts in few messages, because each question demands 
some investigation.

   This doesn't work in GTK version. Gtk has different kinds of windows, 
some of them are drawable, some - not. So the decision is to place on 
the main window some drawable widget.

   @ 0,0 BITMAP "some.png"

is a good variant. Or you may use a panel with ON PAINT method and paint 
there anything you need.

    ADD STSTUS oStatus TO oMainWindow

and then use oStatus:SetText( someText ) to write there. This method has 
been fixed in a latest Changelog.
