Hi All,
I was wondering if any of you have considered dropping Tk and using Qt for the GUI of PD? (see http://www.trolltech.com/)
I think that would take care of any remaining GUI-problems and would make it easier to add new GUI externals to PD. Qt also has OpenGL support.
If I had the time I would do the work, of course :-)

We too :)
Actually there exists a gtk version, which is only functional with older versions of pd, if so at all.
Generally porting to another toolkit would mean 1) defining a proper protocol for GUI communication in pd itself, then porting the tcl/tk stuff, and then writing another GUI. 2) implementing the tcl/tk canvas, and several popup dialogs, menues with another GUI toolkit.
The gtk version took the second approach.

Looks nice, but it's commercial, so there's no guarantee it will stay around.
