Cellwriter can no longer be compiled without gnome, without issues

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Please describe the problem.
In cellwriter compiled without the gnome dependency (achieved with the 
--without-gnome 
option), the pen cannot be lifted to write dots on i's, exclamation points, and 
other letters 
which require the lifting of the pen. Normally, cellwriter waits for you to 
completely write the 
letter before it records it, but such is no longer the case. This is a recent 
problem; I have 
compiled cellwriter without gnome in the past, and never experienced this 
issue. This started 
last month. 

2) What steps will reproduce the problem?
Compile cellwriter without gnome, then try training it (or if already trained, 
try dotting an i, 
for instance. In my case, it didn't work, after which I deleted my profile and 
it still didn't 
work).

3) What version are you using? What Linux distribution?
Arch Linux, 64-bit, cellwriter version 1.3.4, gtk2 2.18.4-1, kernel  2.6.31, 
Lenovo x61 tablet.

Please provide any additional information below.
It doesn't appear that cellwriter *isn't* recording the data after the pen is 
lifted. I tried with 
writing an exclamation point, and even though it so quickly flashes while I'm 
writing, 
showing one shape at a time (i.e. first the line, then the point), the letter 
is recognized. But 
this is a real inconvenience because I cannot use cellwriter properly if it 
keeps blanking after 
each stroke. This only does not occur if I compile cellwriter with the gnome 
dependencies, 
which is not something I'm happy with.

Thanks for the report, I will take a look at it although I do not have Arch 
linux.

I no longer have this issue. Updated some software, an it fixed it. I'm sorry 
I'm not sure which updates fixed 
it, but anyone who is up-to-date in ArchLinux should no longer have this 
problem.

I am experiencing the same problem since I updated my Kubuntu to 9.10. 
Recognition
starts after the first stroke when I lift the pen, making cellwriter rather 
useless.
I have version 1.3.4 installed from the ubuntu repositories.

GTK 2.18 made most of its controls windowless, while CellWriter apparently 
relies on
having windowed controls. Setting $GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS works in the interim. See
