> The GTK+ DRT makes real d&d calls which can cause problems if two processes try to run a d&d test at the same time.  A simple workaround is to give each NRWT process a separate Xvfb server to use.  This could probably happen in 2 different ways:

We are interested in moving GTK+ over NWRT ASAP, so I'm willing to spend some time on this. I've been looking around the code and I was wondering what is the best way to implement this exactly. My first intuition would be to have a GTK+ Driver (like Chromium's) that knows how to deal with Xvfb, but I wonder if I'd be reimplementing too much stuff here. Suggestions?
