Someone needs to make a decision, and someone needs to commit it. I'm on vacation, so I'm not committing right now, but I will make a decision about this (follow it as you wish): * gtk12 support will *not* be added. We don't build gtk12 support into other apps, and we won't here. * Xlib/no-XUL support *will* be added. This should give people a nice option for slower machines who don't want to be bogged down by a GTK2 dependency. Note, however, that the FreeBSD GNOME team all uses GTK2, so the Xlib-only option won't get much committer testing in all likelihood. Mezz, ahze, do either of you want to commit this? # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
