Yes, sometimes answers you'd even wouldn't like to know ;-o Folks, these gtk guys are on bad drugs (well, that's not sucha new enlightenment ;-o) ... a) gtk-printer backends are separate *shared* libraries, which are loaded somewhere at runtime. absolutely no need to ship and build them within the gtk+ tree b) the whole gtk-printer api might be a nice thing (even i just have a dozen of better solutions at the tip of my head ;-o), but I can't see any technical reasons for having that all within a widget toolkit, instead of a separate library. hmm, time for a fork ? ;-) cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
