Follow-up Comment #2, bug #18834 (project mypaint):
It is still an oddity to me what the GTK guys where thinking when they broke
backwards compatibility between two minor releases.
It is pretty clear to me that there is no way we could have a bugfree release
on windows for the current incoming release, and I don't suppose GTK 3 will
come on windows soon, and when it will come, it will have its fair share of
bugs too.
I was thinking one day that maybe Iron Python is a good answer to this for
Windows. Keep everything as it is now, but switch GTK dependency with .NET WPF
or WinForms through Iron Python (which works out of the box together with
Python code). From what I understand, mypaint barely interacts directly with
GTK anyway, so we could have a glue layer on top of the windowing system used
and then use whatever is better on that platform. We could use cocoa on mac,
wpf on windows and gtk on linux. Also WinTab support is very easy to use and
maintain in .NET, without all the fancy stuff GTK does to implement it.
I'll try some experiments with this when I'll have some spare time.
