Let me clarify that a bit. As soon as you take Josselin's advice for preparing the rest of gtkada for GTK3.0, you'll discover that nothing in gtkextra has been prepared for what is *currently* deprecated in GTK+2.0. Fixing that will mean completing the migration of gtk-extra2 through to current GTK+2.0 as well as implementing the transition in gtkada. This is why I cannot implement Josselin's advice in quicklist - it shows up the breakage in gtk-extra2. Personally, I just don't think it is worth the work. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
