I noticed that in some of the backwardly compatible API's developers are saddled with the good and the bad from a previous implementation and the extra effort to maintain compatibility. Doesn't the re-implementation of certain API's help to create what could be a great leap forward when the newer version comes out I'm not a developer but isn't gtk2 far superior to gtk1.x? -- James McDonald Systems Engineer Singleton NSW Australia _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
