Um?

Yes, that's NATIVE gtk. The big problem I was having was saving files.

Namely, the GTK win32 file dialog trying to talk to the Cygwin filesystem 
layer. Doesn't work so good.

What I ended up doing here was compiling that specific module against 
native libraries, where the rest of the modules were compiled against 
cygwin.
