Oh, so you're actually doing it to reduce the number of executables, rather than to avoid compiling multiple copies of shared code?
Do you need to post the modified source?
What license is it under?

Main purpose of doing mcb is to reduce total size...
I do not know about the license stuff and if source must be shipped along with the binary but as always source is available upon request. I seldom ship the modified source code as only very few seems interested in that...

Attached an other demo - gtkrdesktop - including rdesktop-1.2.0 static build.

The purpose of making the demos is to exercise gtkdialog1 and find missing features etc. The gtkrdesktop is a launcher for the remote desktop application rdesktop, used to connect to various windows desktops. I would have liked to include possibilities for saving/loading profiles but are missing some features in the gtkdialog1 like setting status of checkboxes via script/variable and the append action to comboboxes - added to the TODO list in first post.

Yes, thanks, I generally prefer patches.

Actually, I think I wasn't 100% correct when I said you need to post the source with the binary. You need to either post the source or a written offer to provide the source to anyone who has the binary. (I also saw someone say that the source needs to be distributed with the binary, but not necessarily by you, and that if you provided a link to the original source that would suffice, along with patches for any changes. I'm not sure how true this is.)
Anyway, I think technically we should be distributing source with every .pet, in which case the GPL compliance around here is terrible. Providing patches should make most people happy though.

disciple: Thanks for info!

Attached another demo: gtkman
Find man pages present on your system and text-format them for view in edit-widget. Need original man - busybox man will not work - so static build of man-1.6e also included.

Here is a static build with my musl toolkit (all pixbuff loaders are working except tiff ,... but only because it is kindof irrelevant here), I modified stringman.c to speed up the file search - you can now just export GTKDIALOG_PIXMAP_DIR and it will look there.

Thanks for the patch for the find_pixmap!
Did you use the last source of gtkdialog1 (GtkDialog1-1.1)? Your binary has some problems with setting the wmclass I think - app name wont show in window title which make the app crash if you move mouse over jwm buttonbar. Might just be my jwm that has the problem - its P412 std jwm.
The button images also seems odd - no right margin.
Below same script running with your bin left and mine right.
A second thought: I think the wmclass is gdk/gtk/tinyX11 related. I think I made a hack for it - try look into my gdk/gtk-sources and search for wmclass...

It was probably just a badly patched toolchain - I left out some extra utf8 stuff from tinyX11 and probably hacked something to make it compile. (I lost patience after fixing most of the compile errors and warnings in gdk, so the gtk side just got quick, hacky patches)
Btw, you can make the static gdk_pixbuf easier to work with by doing:

Techonosaurus, "rox-1.2.2 can use imlib if available" The older rox-1.0.0 used only imlib, but I didn't even know that 1.2.2 could use it. It may speed up loading of desktop icons and/or improve their rendering. Have you noticed either of these?

"the vfs stuff was interesting too" -Did you get this working? I always wanted it but couldn't get it to work.

About your patch to find_pixmap, There is a note in the TODO file about this function. What we really need there is to be using the users' chosen theme, if available. We now have gtkrc file being read, so 'themedir' gets set(hopefully).
The original code:

@amigo - imlib and gdkpixbuf are much better suited to a shared library toolchain, so I have been trying to avoid them lately while playing with my static musl toolchain. However the way the modules work reduces the memory footprint significantly in a traditional shared library system (on par with the static builds) if you want to support multiple image types. ...btw before I forget ...
@goingnuts - do you still have the pre-gdk_pixbuf sources for gtkdialog 1?
Re: VFS in ROX-Filer, I did get it to work in the 2.X series - never tried it in 1.X IIRC it needed fuse, libavfs and lib{x,t}ar and was missing support for a widely used format (don't remember which)
Re:Themedir: I _think_ glade does that too ... I will check, it may be a simple cut/paste job.

Edit:... the gtkrc stuff seemed straight forward in the tutorial, but I didn't see anything in glade1 (glade2 may be backportable, but now I'm not sure where I saw gtkrc code)

Edit2: AVFS-1.0.1 was released with xz support = good time to try a rox rebuild

technosaurus: don't know if this is what you need?

Coming back to the gtk-swallow-widget - present source below. Needs window ID of the window to swallow passed as argument - at the moment found by using xwininfo. Attached image of static mplayer (diet build found here) playing 2001-A_Space_Odyssey.avi and swallowed by the gtk-app.
Main problem now is to have the swallow-widget to launch the program you want to swallow and swallow it. Code below mainly produced by technosaurus:
