Talk about namespace clashes! How about we talk
about "application windows" which are those things
with the nice menu bars on them and correspond to
a top-level base widgets, and "graphics windows",
which are those things you traditionally draw
graphics in. When those things are objects, we could
call them.... Oh, on second thought, just forget about
the whole thing. :-(

Cheers,

David
