1) this is the wrong mailing list 2) it has been made clear many, many, many times that, largely as a result of the developers of GTK+ largely being associated with the GNOME project, the development priorities reflect what GNOME needs/wants. 3) no other community of interest has stepped up to

There are some major apps like gimp that use gtk2 and I doubt they'll ever switch to gtk3--gtk3 widgets tend to be a lot bigger than gtk2 widgets, making control-intensive dialogues bigger, taking away space from whatever you're trying to do. I've written a bunch of apps over the last few

Hi, Until recently I tried to avoid GTK3 applications, because the GTK3's file chooser is driving me crazy. However, as more and more applications of my desktop environment are ported to GTK3, I wonder ... is there any way, to get a more traditional file chooser for GTK3 applications which
