Sure, haskell-gi will be awesome! These patches were just a "while we wait" solution. I was not sure if you were just looking for a quick way to get your gtk2hs app to work with Gtk3 right now (sorry for the confusion). Gtk3 fixed a number of bugs we had in Leksah, and a few patches to the Gtk2Hs source seemed like the quickest way to port Leksah to Gtk3. But we will of course switch to the haskell-gi solution when it is ready. How close is haskell-gi to being ready? (I have not tried it in a while). I have also added all the DOM functions to webkit by processing the WebKit IDL files https://patch-tag.com/r/hamish/webkit/home And wavewave made bindings for JavaScriptCore https://github.com/ghcjs/webkit-javascriptcore Do you know if GI will cover both of these? Is the plan to use haskell-gi to replace most of the gtk2hs package/repo (or will there be a whole new gtk3hs package/repo)? If the changes will be in the gtk2hs package/repo, will adding these Gtk3 patches as well make it harder to port to GI? (If so we might need to have a temporary fork gtk2hs-gtk3 or gtk2hs-leksah in Hackage so we can get the Gtk3 fixes into Leksah).
