Files in gdk/directfb in the 2.14.7-2 package actually differ from the
merge you have done on upstream GTK+ 2.14 branch.
After a new build with this directory updated, I can start the graphical
installer. :) But from the quick glance I had those issues remain:
* The banner is not displayed, instead I see the "broken image" icon.
I might have missed something while building the package though.
* Critical: scrolling does not work in GtkTreeView. This is a real
problem as many questions of the debian-installer are asked through
GtkTreeView.
* Graphical artifacts while scrolling a VteTerminal widget.
Sven, thanks a lot for your work, though! :)
Josselin, I think I would have been okay to have minor issues for now
but the scrolling problem really makes the graphical installer unusable…
