-DrakX handles:
-- buttons
-- bool values (checkboxes)
-- ranges
-- entries
-- combo boxes (editable or not)
-- lists / radio boxes
-- tree lists
-- iconlist
-- wait messages
-
-Features:
-- all the entries above can be mixed
-- nice separation between data and displayed data (eg: choose in list of
-objects representing hda/hdb/... but displayed nicely with size...)
-- keyboard handled nicely in GTK frontend
-- callback on events:
- ok pressed => check before the dialog is hidden
- focus changed =>
- * enables pre-setting things based on other entries
- * value checking on the fly
-- simple/advance toggle
-- shadowing of entries
-- tooltips
-- size of windows computed the best possible
-- perl-based
-
-Misfeatures:
-- display not flexible (though i don't know any of the tools we're talking
-about that is flexible => nice)
-- quite a few features are gtk only (simple/advance toggle, shadowing of
-entries, certain events, tooltips).
-- a stdio front-end exist but handle only certain entries. It would need a
-week-work to finish it
-- a http front-end could be done (mod-perl needed)
-- perl-based
-
-The DrakX frontend (called "interactive") could be moved out of DrakX.
-
-eg of use:
-
-<#part type="text/plain" filename="~/bin/perl/imessage" disposition=attachment>
-<#/part>

-nope. The interface is completly standardised, even if it include some
-gtk-like niceties. The *complete* newt (and not just entries and radioboxes
-like bus) binding takes 241 lines.
