  • Subject: gtk-5250 & gnome-5250

These emulators worked for me today! (woohoo!)  They even do underlines,
colors and blinking...  I'm almost giddy.

A few small problems:

1)  If I click the properties dialog, and got a segmentation fault.  
     Since I'm running FreeBSD, this is probably another one of those
     issues where it doesnt show up in Linux, because Linux always
     initializes its memory when allocated.

     In gtk-5250, its occurring around line 355 of gtk5250propdlg.c,
     on this statement:

       gtk_font_selection_set_font_name (GTK_FONT_SELECTION
           (This->font_selector), This->font_name_80);

     The gnome-5250 version doesn't appear to dump core, so I'll have
     to do a bit more research if its not happening at the same spot :)

2) There are certain 5250 keys that I can't figure out how to do in either
     the gnome-5250 or gtk-5250 versions.   Field+, backtab, etc.  Is
     there a way to send these?

3) The keyboard mapping is not what I'm used to.  (Although many people
     will argue this point with me, I absolutely HATE having the Ctrl
     key act as ENTER, and having ENTER act as Field Exit!  YUCK!)
     Is this possible to change at this point, or is that still on the
     "to-do list"?

Thanks for any help...

-Scott
