Yes, we need not just a talking interface -it should be able to sing us to sleep...

"full patch between 1,1 and my present source"

This would be helpful to make sure nothing gets missed. I'm pretty sure that I have downloaded all the patches you have posted, but yesterday I wanted to make sure I had all of them. But, the two patch sets from October 2012 are no longer available(from earlier in this thread) Can you repost them -or maybe they are too large for the new forum size limits. In that case, you can email them to me directly.

I'm definitely gonna need a diff or full sources of where you are right now. The patches applied cleanly up through 033*.diff but then there were problems with the last three patches.
I'm gonna create a 1.2 version which covers up to patch 33*. Then, a full diff of your present sources against 1.1 will let me roll the last three patches together. Thanks for keeping things orderly.

"cutback versions of gtkDialog" Hmmm, I think that a fleshed-out(read bloated) newer version defeats the purpose of the tool. Anyone who needs access to every widget and attribute available in gtk should simply write their program in C. The whole purpose of the tool was to make the most useful features available to script languages.

Looking at the implementations written for later GtkDialog versions gives me a royal headache -I find it much easier to read the C code for those features.

I think we need renaming this thing...

I was thinking about "guish" - it contains elements of gtk, gui and sh.

Also is the last part of distinguish.

guish might even satisfy conusers.

What you say?

The explanation makes sense, but it sounds.... sticky.

Quite difficult naming things when words have so many meanings...sticky...is that a bad word? I think we have some sticky post here...
Anyway - is "guish" a common bad & well know word? English is obviously not my native language.

Yes it can be a problem knowing how things are pronounced in other languages.
Guish to me could be either 'goo-ish' or 'gwish'.
Gwish has no meaning, goo is just sticky stuff, as in World of Goo' etc.
Not knowing any better, and for years only ever read the word without hearing it spoken, I'm one of those poor noobs who say 'lie-nux' rather than linn-ux' for Linux. But I prefer my pronounciation and the only people I say it to are none the wiser.
Anyway, it should cause no offence to English speakers, but I can't guarantee it is not an Albanian word for 'scrotum'.

Gwish looks like it would be a fork of gnocl.

Phone apps do take too long to actually start.

Gtk+xml ... Its not really a shell and actually useful from c,perl,tcl,lua,sh...

gnutsdialog (g can be silent, or pronounced like in g-nome)
