Hi all,

I have 5 questions, some are probably easier to  
answer than others.  
I have collected them, so I dont send too many  
messages in total.

1. Is it possible to use Gtk::ProgressBar  
as some kind of … status-bar, let me  
explain:

2. Is it possible to use ruby libraries  
like rubygame, and embed it into a tab?  
For example, a little spacegame written in ruby/rubygame(SDL)  
The only difference to starting it from a console  
would be to embed it into a Gtk::Notebook tab, and play  
it there.  
I am not sure how much work is needed to make this  
possible - I assume it requires fiddling around with  
C? Is it even possible at all?

3. There are some docus on the Wiki missing.  
For instance, CanvasRect and other Canvas, to name  
one example.

4. Can I send commands to a created VTE Terminal?  
I would like to source certain shell files when a new VTE  
Terminal is made, ie containing some/different aliases and  
variables and functions.

5. The last question for now 🙂

Yes, you can.

No. You can embed only Gtk::Widget into a tab.

We need your help.

Yes.

Yes in GTK+ 2.10. The next release of Ruby-GNOME2 will  
support. Or you can implement by yourself if you can’t wait.

## Thanks,
