(Even) as one of those still "stuck" on GTK1.2 [on some platforms], I don't see it as reasonable to force the world to only develop new features compatible with GTK1.2. As long as Wireshark still compiles and runs on GTK1.2 (with all the GTK2-specific stuff #ifdef'd out), I'm happy. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
