Hello,

>        * What kind of samples are missing?

I'm looking for the features to implement a right-to-left, smooth-scrolling
graph displaying real-time data.  I have an (old) Win32 application which uses
low-level stuff like BitBlt's etc to achieve this.  I'm not sure at what level I
could implement the same thing in Gtk#, or whether other Gnome (GnomeCanvas?)
stuff is needed, though I need it to work on both linux and Win32.

Not so much a tutorial, but an overview of where all the current things fit
together, and how much can be done equally on Win32 and linux.  I see that the
Gnome# stuff doesn't have a Win32 port, so anything that starts off with
Gnome.program.... is a problem!  However, the excellent samples provided with
Gtk# run fine on Win32, so just where do the Gnome features fit in? 

Regards,
