How can we add GUI in minix3?

Hi Radheyshyam

We have some options. People have set up FLTK, Tcl/Tk is in the repo and
I have actually set up xforms which looks gross by default but with some
simple tweaks actually looks fine.

I am planning on trying to set up GTK soon. I think QT would be quite
difficult.

There are still lots more that have not been attempted such as Fox.
Please this release:

David installed a new network stack and it has improved X Windows which
in turn will improve toolkits based on it.

I do have some GUI programs working, not Gnome, which is a full blown DesktopEnvironment, but a Window Manager, like FVWM, and for example here , I am using the GUI that comes with

Image Magick,  ....

To run any Graphical User Interface, Xorg , (Xwindows) needs to be installed though. Which we do have available.
