in thread [Tkx] Widget's helpin box.
What linux module? Tkx::Tutorial basically teaches you enough Tcl to be able to read Tcl/Tk docs, and its meant for Windows people too.
Whearas, from what I hear on Windows, the developers have a nice RAD interface to it, and probably nice docs for the functions.
Who/what/where? Sounds like a bunch of lies. When I'm forced into Tkx, I rely on http://docs.activestate.com/activetcl/8.5/full_toc.html, but there were always holes in Tk docs.
However, I do see the future of GUI toolkits being based either on the Gtk2 or KDE libs. At the present, IMO, the gtk+ libs are the best choice to look at because it is fully open source, and gaining much support as Ubuntu style linux systems propagate out.
Ok? :) My observation, Perl/Tk has been dead for the past 10 years. At least Tkx gets past the problem with Perl/Tk, but the underlying Tcl/Tk isn't that much livelier :)
From time to time I hear someone mention KDE, but AFAIK its vaporware :p
Gtk2 looks like it has a future, but for a long time it didn't compile for windows.
Wx has been running on windows for a long while, its fully open source, easy to extend... :D
