Maybe those deprecations have something to do with it. > ... I think every > application exposing a date uses its own widget, and not two date > selection widgets look alike. Which seems logical, as gnomeDateEdit is marked as deprecated, warnings abound about not using gnomelibs, and no alternative exists. I doubt that would have happened if a GtkDateEdit would exist. I also doubt that the diversity is a good thing: a unified and consistent interface is important for users (and programmers). Just checked, Qt has a QDateTimeEdit widget, which permits manual editing, setting format, and enabling a Calendar popup if needed. So I guess there is a clientele for that. Thanks once again, I'll have a look at the libegg version.
