IIRC, gtkdfb in Gnome's svn includes some recent fixes that were missing in gtk+ 2.10.9. Moreover, gtkdfb codebase often receives important updates, so working with SVN makes you be sure you're always working with an up-to-date version of gtkdfb. regards Attilio _______________________________________________ directfb-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.directfb.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/directfb-users
