Possibly the constructive question here is: What sort of messaging would have convinced you to have moved away from the deprecated widgets? I don't see the virtue of a gtk1-compat library... it's just shuffling non-maintainership around forever. I'd suggest people can just cut, paste, and rename the things into their own code if they are so attached to the code. - Owen _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
