Hi all, mvo, Naturally i would be really excited to see the gtk3 ui become the default. The rate of fixes over the past week gives me confidence that we can get a fairly polished release out the door come October. Moreover, the attention the gtk3 ui has received of late hasn't shown up any huge issues with the bindings, gtk3, or the new code. My biggest concern would be the back/forward navigation stuff.
