We would prefer if you opened one or even several bug reports at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ with a description of the problems you see in the plug-in. You can then attach your patches there.

IMO we should remove this plug-in from the main distribution. It doesn't seem to be very useful for the main target audience and it appears to be buggy and unmaintained. David, perhaps you want to take over maintainance of this plug-in and keep it updated in the plug-in registry?

Re: [Gimp-developer] request for discussion: removing button relief
To follow up for people who don't necessarily look at Bugzilla, this change has been committed to trunk at Mitch's request, and Mitch converted it into a style property, defaulting to no relief as shown in the screenshot, so that, should there happen to be anybody who wants the button relief, they can get it by adding a line to the gtkrc file. -- Bill ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

They are already accessible that way, using the little button in the upper right corner -- but two levels down in the menu, which is not so good. Anwyay I don't like that little arrow icon, which is hard for me to see and hard for me to hit using the mouse. find a legal way and you are my hero. Mitch and I could find no way how gtk supports showing the relief only on mouse-over, for things like pop-up menus. It will be amazing if you ever see me claiming to be able to solve a programming problem that has defeated Mitch, but this particular problem might be easier than it was a year ago, because Gtk+ 2.12 has added a shadow-type style property to the GtkComboBox widget, which is the basis of most of the menus you are talking about, if I understand you correctly. -- Bill ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Again, where is this specified? I don't know the file format, and I don't think anyone else here has in-depth knowledge about it. So if you want us to accept patches, you better point us to the official documentation of the file format and explain what exactly the GIMP plug-in is not doing correctly here.
