I'm going to try to fix a lot of bugs over the holidays and see if I
can get the 2.8.3 branch as stable as the older  build.
Then maybe we can look at the memory leaks :)

Outstanding - I updated the gdk-directfb backend with GTK 2.8.3, and the gtk-demo program is working well now, I no longer have the crashes I was reporting yesterday with the popups (copy/paste and message dialogs). Thanks immensely for your help there - really appreciated.

You mentioned that the Debian group has been backporting various patches to an older GTK release (I presume 2.0.9) - where do they have their patches stored? I presuming it's somewhere within the debian-installer SVN - but was just wondering in case someone knew it off the top of their head. I'd wondering if there's any other changes they have that aren't in 2.8.3.

I'd actually had the same issues with 2.0.9 as with 2.8.3 so I guess I had been using an even older build that didn't have the latest patches in it (it was the build available from http:// www.directfb.org/index.php?path=Development%2FProjects%2FGTK%2B - ie. http://www.directfb.org/downloads/Libs/gtk+-directfb-2.0.9-2.tar.gz). Great to see it all working now.

Would be great to have the 2.8.3 branch as stable as the 2.0.9 build. Make sure you have some time off on your holidays though! :)

Thanks again.

Cheers,

Marcus

PS. I noticed with the latest builds there's one remaining issue I can see - backspace/delete/arrow keys don't seem to be working within text fields - not sure if this was introduced with the latest round of patches, but thought I'd mention it in case it rang any bells?
