Sorry. I was speaking generically, not about a specific method named 'event'. Let me dig up the sample code to explain myself...Ok. from drawing.rb:

signal_connect("button_press_event") { |w,e| pressed(w,e) }
...
def pressed(widget, ev)
...

This seems to say that both the widget and the event will be passed to the pressed method, which will then have to delegate the event to the appropriate widget. Instead, I would expect to be able to connect "button_press_event" for a given widget to the widget itself, causing widget#pressed(event) to be called. Perhaps I'm missing something because the example is so brief.

>if those events and signaling system are what make Gtk-- more OO than

Because the GTK-- folks have already thought it through, and it would be nice to be able to leverage existing GTK-- documentation. If it's easier to re-wrap GTK+ directly in a GTK-- style than it is to wrap GTK--, that sounds fine to me.

Perhaps you could take a quick look at GTK-- and see what you think. I would be very interested to hear your opinion. Their homepage is gtkmm.sourceforge.net. Hmmm...looking at some GTK-- source now, it seems cryptic, but if you know GTK+ it's probably more comfortable. I like GTK-- because there are several OO wrappers for GTK+ and it seemed like it was the most popular and best supported.
