Description kz 2002-05-19 19:36:28 UTC
I have a plan to make fully gnome-based browser engine, to replace Gecko 
on my desktop.
and this bogus post is the place for related postings on the way.

sorry to bother you master. I remember that someone did similar for an 
issue. if there is other place for this kind of post, pliz forward this 
post to the place.

Thanks. all comment for gnome browser engine is welcomed.
I'm just a novice gnome-ian. your advise make gnome browser engine more 
possible.

The GTK+ product is for tracking work on GTK+, not for
things like this.

So, if you need to create a tracking bug for your project,
you need a product for your project.

[ I should point out that I don't believe that creating
  a web browser using stock GTK+ widgets is possible
  or desirable.
  
  The mozilla toolkit is basically web layout reused
  for a widget toolkit, and it is an *awful* widget toolkit.

  Raph Levien looked at this many years ago in the context
  of the 'gzilla' project, and came to the conclusion
  that GTK+ wasn't usable and wrote his own mini-widget-set 
  for the browser. ]

I've heard that gzilla is now dillo ( http://dillo.cipsga.org.br/ ). 
and dillo does minimal(but good) render for web pages.

I'm sure that I know GTK+-only is just a tip of big iceberg. there 
are gnome-vfs for data transfer, bonobo for object embed, and many 
things that I can't remember this moment. some of them like GtkMathML 
is much useful inside gnome-intergrated browser engine.

gnome has almost perfect set of each functionality for browser 
engine. let's mosaic them. (yeah, it's very hard work to just 
mosaic.. ;)

well, I think that reassigning this post to me is the way not to 
bother you.

eh, how can I append a product on bugzilla?
Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2002-05-20 14:11:20 UTC
You probably have the permissions to do it (click on Products
in the footer), but the best thing to do is to mail
bugmaster@gnome.org to make sure that your product name
is OK.

Assigning the bug to yourself doesn't help me. When tracking
GTK+ bugs, I need to look at all GTK+ bugs, regardless of
who is working on them.
