I think that it is one of the STRENGTHS of FOSS that if there's a bug in a component users of that component do not try to hack round it, but expect the bug to be fixed at the source benefiting everyone. I'm sorry to say this, but your attitude is starting to piss me off. Your attack mentality and complaining are not helping. Perhaps you should stop that and do something that would actually help, like contribute some code. We work on gimp for FUN. Most of us do not use Windows(I don't have one for my personal use) and those that do are not skilled enough to do GTK development on that platform. We do what we can. I personally got involved in the project by hunting a bug that ended up being in GTK. It got fixed. True, the bug was specific for Linux, but that's the platform I do my development on. I done have neither the will nor skills to do that. You can do it on windows if you want. -- --Alexia _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
