I can confirm that point. As GTK+ 3 emerges and matures things may change, but for now I'd still recommend 2.16 for production use on win32. > (Of course, bugs in my port of the app are most likely the > reason for these crashes but I'm trying to make sure that > nothing else is involved.) Yep. In checking the performance of my own GTK app, I have almost invariably found that a problem of the form "doing X works fine on Linux but (sometimes) crashes on Windows" means there's a bug in my own code. A GTK-on-Windows problem is much more likely to manifest itself as some part of the GUI not working correctly, rather than an outright crash.
