Re: -Djava.awt.headless=true and Gtk...

Hello Stephen:

Does this means that there is no way to use a headless environment
w/Classpath (without graphics desktop running on server)??

I am a little confused:

"GDK is basically a wrapper around the standard Xlib function calls.
If you are at all familiar with Xlib, a lot of the functions in GDK
will require little or no getting used to. All functions are written
to provide an way to access Xlib functions in an easier and slightly
more intuitive manner. In addition, since GDK uses GLib (see below),
it will be more portable and safer to use on multiple platforms."

>From its description, GDK on Linux relies on XLib.

Thank you,
Martin
