No. It started out as a viewer, but I added an LEDIT compatible
editor mode a long time ago.

You can do it that way by putting ldglite in polling mode. In fact
that's what I initially thought would work best for me. But the poll
and redraw cycle is slower than using the builtin LEDIT keyboard
interface. As an emacs user, I really enjoy the efficiency of the
LEDIT keyboard commands.

Yeah, I had a similar problem with Leocad a long time ago. I started
looking into it but I couldn't keep up with the changes Leonardo was
making at the time. I think he moved away from the gtkglarea widget
and that doomed my efforts (or something like that). If the source
has stablilized, maybe I should take another look.

Are you talking about the ldglite Debian package? You don't really
need it. Ldglite is actually fairly easy to build yourself. The only
toolkit it requires is glut. Most distributions come with a glut or
freeglut package already built to use the accelerated opengl drivers.
