Really? Huh. Hm. Oops; Bug.

Certainly.

Like all open source software, java-gnome is what people create. If I
had to guess, this shows the classic signs of being something for which
no one who knew what they were doing [and more to the point what they
wanted and how it is supposed to work].

Given that you do, it'd be terrific to get GtkPlug/GtkSocket working...

In rough order, we'd need:

1) an API that makes sense
2) some notion of what needs to be implemented
3) patches :)

If you want to pick this up, I'd suggest starting out with a
skeleton/snippet of what using this might look like. If you were to
write that in an email to jav...@li...
and/or open a bug against java-gnome:libgtk-java that'd be great!
