Hello, I was reading on your web site that we could launch gimp in a browser.

It will soon be possible to run applications such as Gimp in a browser. Thanks to an API in development, HTML 5 GDK Version 3.2. To test it on Firefox 4, you should download the source code for GTK 3.2 and compile with this directive: -enable-x11-backend-enable-broadway-backend You must also enable WebSocket in Firefox 4. Type about:config in the address bar and turn both flags as follows: network.websocket.enabled=true network.websocket.override-security-block=true

Not having done anything like this before, could you give me some background on what I need to accomplish this? I am using a virtual machine, so I can use whatever server is best. where do I compile the source code for GTK 3.2? ( I am really new at this) I found where to change the settings in Firefox, but is there a way to do this without the user having to do it manually? Your help and guidance in this feat will be greatly appreciated. Thanx,

Hello Apparently, this requires WebSocket which is disabled by default in Firefox 4, due to security issue. It will be enabled by default in Firefox 6, that will be available before the end of the year. You do not need to have GTK 3.2 to use it, GTK 3.2 will support that by default, but you can compile GTK 3.0 with the option given in the post to run it. The source code for GTK 3.0 may be found on the download GTK page, and you have to read the instructions to compile it. Not an easy task, but possible...
