But so is gEDA 20041228 not even two months old yet). Users who don't want to upgrade gtk+ can also use old gEDA without problem. OK, so gEDA 20041228 has bug fixes and new features that many users would want. So does gtk+ 2.4.

I think that's unrealistic and unreasonable for the developers. That means GTK+ 1.2 at best. A good distribution (of linux or NetBSD or whatever) makes it easy to upgrade the libraries you need. Sorry, but I don't care about other systems. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
