Runrev doesn't work, it work only in Emulated Look and feel, there 
aren't all font under linux, the windowboundingrect are wrong, french 
special characters doesn't work ("éùàç...").
And runrev doesn't start if I set good library 
(libgdk-x11...,libgtk-x11...,libgobject) for have the GTK look and feel.

The GTK look and feel is good, but he doesn't work. I have tryed with 3 
distrobutions, and never I had a Revolution that work.

I understand, there aren't a lot of user of Runrev under linux, but why 
? Because runrev isn't the best under linux. (Under MacOS X, yes, 
Revolution is very great)

And I say only the true. Maybe, Runrev doesn't support something in a 
french linux ?
