  Still the question is: What toolkit to use for a
 standard-LAD-Gui-elements-set? Or just define the graphics and the handling
 and then let everyone implement it in his/her preferred toolkit? The last
 would be my suggestion, and maybe I am volunteering to create on for Qt... 
 Other way around?  Define a graphics system so I can add my own
 knob-graphics, and you make them work.
  
 ok... small history of my experience with knobs:
 i used a gif animation for the galan knob.
 seemed nice because i know the size and the number of frames.
 dawback: only 1 transparancy bit.
 knob looks ugly on black background.
 now i moved the code to use png which has real alpha information.
 put all frames in a row.
 but i have to hardcode the size or the number of frames.
 (dont remember what i hardcoded (perhaps both :( ) )

What about MNG?  It's basically just animated png, is it not?
I know there's a libmng, but I've never used it so I don't know if it's
any good.
