You can have them pop in and out of existance efficiently too. That's somewhat harder (though not impossible) with gtk2. --047d7b5d9c07f77b370521527bae Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Apologies I found a list in the libgdl ebuild file. What is the appe= al
of docking?

You can do thing= s like the message and DRC windows without being at the mercy of the window= manager to have them behave sanely.=C2=A0 You can have them pop in and out= of existance efficiently too.=C2=A0 That's somewhat harder (though not= impossible) with gtk2.
