Tony, do you really think that the right thing to do? What am I supposed to do now? What other users are? Are you serious? I understand your frustration about GTK+, but that's not the reason to abandon software lots of people use, that's unfair to its users. ROXTerm has been the terminal of my choice for the last 8 years, and now I'm supposed to look for something else, as I won't be able to install it very soon. Okay, I get it, there's a bug. But — fsck that bug, I think it can be overridden with the window manager, I guess (I haven't run into it as I don't use GTK 3.20 yet), or at the end it could be fixed even that's not trivial as you mentioned. But abandoning it altogether? You disappoint me :( -- Cheers, Andrew
