Mutter was already switched over to be GTK+ 3.0-only a while ago (after consultation with you guys.) If there was a strong need, we could revert that out but it would be far from the first choice. GTK+ 3.0 will be out long before April, so I don't think there is a problem with shipping it in something released in April. Obviously, porting everything over to GTK+ 3.0 would be a different issue. - Owen _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
