hey I bet you wish you never said nothin' ;) I for one didn't understand (stupid as this may sound) that if say GtkTree was broken then GtkTreeItem would be regarded as deprecated.
This because I didn't find the GTK2 manual til yesterday, by which time I'd already put in a bugzilla report I didn't want to put in if I didn't have to - 'cos I know you people have a lot of them to go thru anyway, & also am aware that there's a fair chance I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. I am gobsmacked at the differences... I didn't expect such big jumps in basic structures. They are right and good moves to a man, but they don't look back At All, and this is something I hadn't allowed for. Bear in mind that we ain't all paid-up C programmers who knows our stuffs. Some of us are complete idiots who just fell into programming yesterday. If you want to keep your bug-list down, half of your defence strategy should consist of gentle explanation.... the which you personally, Havoc, generally do very well when you recognise why ppl are having trouble understanding. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Havoc Pennington" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Paul Davis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Owen Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 9:49 PM Subject: Re: CList DnD/selection "format" broken?

However if you are just making a simple list, clist is fine. Owen points out that I made clist sound more supported than it is in 2.0 - e.g. it doesn't support accessibility, looks inconsistent with GtkTreeView, etc. And is of course deprecated, for removal someday.
