                          XDaliClock for GTK

                           ** INCOMPLETE! **

In 2003, I started porting XDaliClock to GTK.  My reasons for wanting
a GTK version instead of the raw X11 version were:

  - to have a real "Preferences" dialog, instead of using X resources;
  - to have an option for it to behave as an embedded Panel applet.

I never got around to finishing this port, because it turned out to
be *tremendously* slower than the raw X11 version: there's just way
too much overhead in the GDK layer versus the old way which involved
nothing more than a whole buch of calls to XDrawSegments().
See xdaliclock.c:draw_image() for the gory details.

Because I couldn't make it draw fast enough, I never got around to
finishing the Preferences dialog, or implementing the Panel stuff.

If you finish it, please let me know.  But at this point, it seems
unlikely that I'll ever work on this GTK version of Dali Clock again.
