Why don't people get that you can build GTK-V1 with GTK2? This is the only way the Windows client is built. I don't think it should be dropped until jxclient is released. If anything, change the default build to use GTK2. > My thoughts: > > Due to the significant layout changes between the GTKv1 and GTKv2 client > and to ease the transition for players - I think the gtk-v1.glade layout > should be set as the default layout. That's ok with me, though I think I'd probably pick the V1-Redux over the straight up GTK-V1 layout. > What we have in Trunk right now should become the current branches/1.x > client that all the Linux distros would then release through their > repository. I wholeheartedly agree, but we need to be sure mwedel's changes are completed or we release prior to that change. His check in comment said that server changes need to be made to avoid horking up the display. Further, he changed only the GTK-V2 layout and not all the other layout files for the resizing thing he did. By the way, I'm also ok with thinning the number of offered layouts in a default install might be wise. Perhaps we could pack up the others by adding a package for extra layouts. If we do something like that, we probably need to try to test the water and see what people think about the various layouts, though I'd tend to package the layouts that work for lower screen resolutions with the client... which reminds me I still haven't checked in that 640x480 layout.
