Charlie, I think that you forgot to send this to the mailing list.

What hurt or damage would it have done to have left the widget in? None
whatsoever. It leaves me wondering if you guys know what business you're in? One
would think you're in the business of offering solutions and improving them, not
removing them for no good reason.
The reasoning given in the GTK+ 2 documentation was that GtkCurve ‘is
too specialized’, which seems reasonable. The original discussion was on
Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556263
which led to the deprecation, and the removal occurred a while later:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=74e68444883c15cb19c1338a2052172fb9f15d0a
Where is the oversight of your team, to allow you to act so arbitrarily? I mean,
how do we know that something that's in the toolkit now, isn't going to be
removed later, with no replacement offered other than "learn how to create your
own widgets". This is beyond ridiculous!
The replies from Dov and Danielle seem constructive. I would add that
UFRaw has a custom curve widget that may be even better than GtkCurve
for your use case:
http://ufraw.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ufraw/ufraw/curveeditor_widget.c?view=markup
Admittedly, maintaining your own custom widget will require more work
than if the widget were included in the toolkit, but you mentioned that
GtkCurve was basic, and the only way to add features would be to create
your own widget.
Have a nice day, you bunch of bums.
Charlie

GtkCurve was already removed in GTK+ 3. It was deprecated in GTK+ 2.20
but will remain in GTK+ 2 to preserve API and ABI compatibility.
