I was just trying to help you to get along with the new file-chooser. That said, I would like to state that whatever happens in GTK+, is of course our responsibility as well. After all it's the GIMP toolkit. IMO we should work a lot closer with the GTK+ development team. If it was me, the GIMP development branch would depend on the latest CVS versions of glib and gtk+. That would allow us to follow the development a lot closer and would allow us to give feedback early enough for it to be considered. The way we are working now (a lot of developers still using the now unmaintained gtk+-2.4 branch), we are of course always way too late. But given the antagonism that shows up every time we update the GTK+ dependencies to the latest stable version, I don't even dare to ask about having GIMP depend on the GTK+ development branch. Sven
