- Some time ago (maybe Pekka IIRC) assembled a GTK2 patch from several other efforts, and I thought it'd be good to open a CVS branch for it a CIPSGA, but, as you may have noticed in the front page of our sites, we've been trying to contact CIPSGA sysadmins for months with Livio!!!
Has there been any further development on this? I think we are now at the point mentioned, in that the main distros seem to be including GTK2 support for GNOME 2.
Yes, that was also my idea some days ago. If someone knows of an important dist which does not yet contain Gtk2, please report this. I've looked at Pekka's patch (the more recent one, with Pango support, this is interesting for M17n), which does not yet integrate in the current CVS. There are some more complicated problems with recent changes, especially with findtext and related, which examine parts of words. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Pango is currenly zero. You (and expecially Pekka) will hear from me. Sebastian
