O'brother. So this insanity is known and nobody cares. It appears I must go patching then.

Just wondering, what's the rationale behind this mess? -- Cheers, Saul _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
