Hey Mouse,

Welcome to the geda world.  You had me slightly confused for a minute 
when I saw your name in a different mail folder than usual.

As others have mentioned, geda-dev is a better list.  DJ knows all.  I 
know a little.  src/hid.h has a fair number of comments which can get 
you relatively far along.  You'll find that the lesstif and gtk HID's 
are structured fairly differently inside.  I'm familiar with some 
portions of the core and some portions of the GTK HID although I've not 
had much time over the last many months to do much.

The postscript and png HID's are pretty similar to each other (since I 
used the postscript one from DJ as a start for the png one).

I'm curious what GUI toolkit you're interested in using?

Glad to see you here.

-Dan
