looking for some information regarding picogui

Hi,

I'm looking around for some more information about picogui.=20
Would be cool if you could shed some light on me :-)

1) I read in the archive that pgserver can be used as a lib so that =
tcp/ip is not required. This sounds very good to me. How do I achieve =
this ? Is there a configure-switch or do I have to fiddle around =
manually ?

2) I need direct access to the display framebuffer from my application. =
Is there a good way to do this ? Does this require work within picogui ? =
I read about the pgBitmap and shared memory and stuff which sounds =
already promising. But when used as a lib pgserver is in the same =
address space as the application. Any hints on this ? Basically I need =
access to the framebuffer to copy a "background" picture there (which =
has to be updated several times per second)

3) Can I have widgets overlapping other widgets (or overlapping the =
background or the background widget) ? Does picogui always use the full =
screen ?

4) How is the i18n support ? I read unicode is supported, ft2 is =
supported. Are there already functions to switch the language during =
runtime ? (ala QApplication::installTranslator()?)

Thanks for any hints
Alex
