Hi everyone, This may be of interrest to some people. I've just tried gnome 1.2 (Helix). The good news is that it doesn't break source or binary compatibility with Overflow. The bad news is that there is one bug and one "very undesirable feature". The bug is in the text canvas item and make the boxes around nodes too large. The "very undesirable feature" concerns those who run gnome with a locale that use the "," as a decimal mark. For me (I use the french locale), the floating point numbers are printed and parsed with a "," insteat of a ".", which breaks everything. This affects C++ streams. I don't know whether the printf and scanf are affected. The only way around is to unset the language environment variables.
