David looks at the GUI situation from an absolute-number-of-dependencies perspective, and GTK2 has many more dependencies than GTK1.2. The GTK1.2 interface works just fine, and the WITH_ switch to install the GTK2 GUI works too. GTK1.2 is much smaller than GTK2, and the GTK1.2 code has been in vim for much longer. David has never expressed any problem with having vim install GTK2 by default if the GTK2 libraries are already installed. Show him a patch, and show that it works, and I bet that he'll have no problem with it. But making vim use GTK2 by absolute default hasn't been on his list of issues that are worth the extra bloat that GTK2 adds. David, is this a fair summary? # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx It's not stupid.
