That way at least the GdkGCs would lose their actual meaning within GDK and thus become deprecated by implication. The biggest problem in removing the GdkGCs are really the style engines.

The problem is just there are a dozens of style engines and they use the GdkGCs directly, so basically all style engine writers would be encouraged to use cairo for drawing and not access the GdkGCs.On 12/1/05, Murray Cumming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

So, I guess that should be ported too.
In general, deprecation doesn't mean that you may not use it. Deprecation
is n't breaking.
