Google gadgets

[newdep]

Seems Google has added Google Desktop-Gadgets for Linux too.. I thought

those only worked for Windows.. Mac is supported too..



Now the gadgets for Linux are Gtk based Lets see if that frame work

speeds up GTK development with newlisp instead of doing it directly

from the Gtk library... who know..

I thought they were HTML and Javascript... Will take a look! :)

yes true they still do, though GTK is used for the desktop widgets.

Calling those widgets is done in Javascript and I was wondering if the

interface between javascript and Gtk was a nice library that could be used

for direct Gtk programming or even with the use the of CANVAS Module

from Lutz to somehow create an interaction with the Google Library..

(dont know, yet, if the google license allows this though ;-)



Ill bett that Interface will change to Qt very soon...Now google used

different Gui's but Google Earth already used Qt.. Moving to the phone's

they surely take something which is 'more advanced' like Qt..

(Which is also an issue Why im thinking of interaction with C++, those

Qt libs are all in C++)..



Here i.e. how to call Google maps from Lisp
