understood.

any thoughts on how to deal with deleting widgets inside a callback?
it seems so natural to get rid of widgets inside the callback when a
button is pressed.  i'll figure *something* out if there are no
approaches you already have in mind.

void go_away_cb ( puObject * )
{
  /*
    Delete the dialog box when its 'OK' button is pressed.

    Doing a 'delete dialox_box' here seems to crash on MSVC
    compilers - probably because dialog_box's member function
    is indirectly calling this function. Hence we return to
    something that is in a distinctly 'iffy' state.

    So, we'll set a flag and delete it later when it's safe.
  */

  delete_the_dialog_box_please = TRUE ;
}

also, i'd like to add "const" in several places in the plib interfaces.
char* parameters often lack "const" where they should have it.
any thoughts about that?
