Good point. The reasons I went with FreeBSD after trying various
flavours of Linux and, of course, MS Windows was for the stability, ease
of configuration and security. It only took me about two hours in 1998
to set up security on my FreeBSD firewall and I was pretty green in the
FreeBSD world at the time. Since then, I've upgraded the OS once, moved
the system drive around to four different machines and the only real
change I had to make was to tweak the security setup. That took about a
half-hour (including reading several man pages) and was only necessary
because of the OS upgrade.

Hmmm. I didn't think of that. I'll look into it. Thanks, Irv.

Uh-huh. Another good point. 
BTW, I've finished testing all of the samples you included with euGTK2
and here is a list of the ones that don't work on my system:
barchart.exu
buttonstyles.exu
calendar.exu
drawing_area.exu
entry.exu
eventtest.exu
combo.exu
pixmaptest.exu
psychedelic.exu
spectrum.exu
table.exu
tooltips.exu
treeview_fancy.exu
turtle.exu
unicode.exu
The problems all stem from four areas:
1) manipulating fonts,
2) drawing on a pixmap (at least I think that's what it is),
3) something to do with glist's,
4) and something subtle with gobject's
All the rest work fine except for spitting out that strange error I
mentioned in my previous message. I'll keep at it and see where it ends
up.
