They said that they have had problems updating gtk+ in the past. So far noone has expressed any actual problems updating glib and gtk+ to version 2.6. > What exactly are these changes? Why are they so critical? You certainky compiled GIMP and noticed the warnings that say "FIXME as soon as we depend on GTK+ 2.6". There are also a couple of bug reports that have been postponed since they need GTK+ 2.6 API to fix them. We have already delayed the GTK+ 2.6 dependency for quite a while. I don't think it's adequate to wait much longer. Sven
