Hi Norm,
In general, the sooner we get applications
using the print dialogs available in the toolkits on the platform (in
this case, the new GTK print dialog), the better.
I disagree because this ties the 3rd party application to a specific desktop.
For the success of the Linux Desktop it is imho mandatory that 3rd party
applications integrate well in any desktop which follows the same common
protocol spec e.g. RUDI.
My point is that most applications have no need to build their own
print dialog. If the application is using a particular toolkit and already
using it's file selection dialog and other components, the app should
be asking the toolkit for a print dialog. If there is is a common dialog
that most (preferably all) toolkits can provide, great.
