Oh man, sometimes I'm so stupid. It's XBoard not GTKBoard.
The menu of XBoard behaves like all other X apps on the world!
Click on a menu branch and HOLD the left mouse key, move the mouse cursor to desireable entry and release left mouse key.
It's the same on iLIad:
# Click with stylus on menu brach & keep stylus on screen
# menu appears
# move stylus on desireable entry
# lift stylus

Please wait for a new XBoard version.

# Bug: some dialogs open as fullscreen dialog. I will be fixed.

How did you port Phalanx? I tried to compile it with iRex SDK but it gave me an error like "unrecognized option -Qq" or something like that.

I got another "unrecognized option" error of make.
I have used the old known method "trial & error": I just removed the option which make doesn't like in the Makefile. I did work.
Well, I use the VMWare Image all the time.

Compiling with iRex SDk does work in general for you?
I have problems with Makefile of engines Crafty & Sjeng, too.

Version 0.2 of XBoard is out. The most important new feature is the engine Phalanx, which has got a adjustable strength.
Four "easy levels" of Phalanx are included plus a shell script to set your own level of strength, you can control the schell script with iLiad's tagging tool.
