Gtk 3.2 Will Let You Run Applications In a Browser

Posted by timothy on Thursday March 17, 2011 @06:28AM from the never-get-off-the-merry-go-'round dept.

An anonymous reader submits this intriguing tidbit: "Gtk+ 3.2 will let you run any application in a browser thanks to the new HTML5 gdk backend. That means you'll be able to run GIMP, Gedit, a video editor or whatever, remotely (or on the same computer), using a web browser. Just imagine the possibilities!" At this point, says the article, it's only possible with Firefox 4.

By "in common usage" you mean it is improperly implied to be so by people like this so they can make lame, butthurt-filled rants against Microsoft, right?
