The scrolling was indeed very nice, and I seem to remember that it used a short acceleration ramp when starting to scroll, and when stopping. It was pleasant, letting me page up and down much quicker than I can do in e.g. emacs or gedit now. It would be cool if we could bring that back in the context of a non-extinct platform. -- Hans Petter _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
