So your suggesting that only 20% of the world uses windows, and 80% uses alternative platforms (Linux, hp-ux, etc)? Are you serious? If you were a business, developing a software solution, and wanted to be profitable, where would your focus be? Think carefully about what your customer base uses. Think about the biggest computer manufacturers (you'll probably respond on one), dell, gateway, compaq. Do they offer a serious alternertive to windows? Nope. And why would a layout manager make ANY difference with the type of language that you use. If your talking about a right to left language, or top to bottom, that is a function of the textbox components that you use, nothing to do with layout managers. If your are painting the glyphs yourself, then you'll be using absolute positioning anyway.
