Re: Events, events, always events..

Hi Giorgio,

Make the slot TGAppMainFrame::CloseWindow() public.

Change the default setting given by system.rootrc file:

# Path used by dynamic loader to find shared libraries and macros.
# Paths are different for Unix and Windows. The example shows the defaults
# for all ROOT applications for either Unix or Windows.
Unix.*.Root.DynamicPath:    .:$(ROOTSYS)/lib
Unix.*.Root.MacroPath:      .:$(ROOTSYS)/macros
WinNT.*.Root.DynamicPath:   .;$(ROOTSYS)/bin;$(PATH)
WinNT.*.Root.MacroPath:     .;$(ROOTSYS)/macros

to ones you wish to have.

Cheers, Ilka
