Christoph's email about pango modules and gtk-mac-bundler reminded me of 
another issue: GLib 2.46 includes an implementation of GNotification that uses 
NSNotificationCenter, available only in OS X 10.9 and later. 

How important is it to everyone here that we continue to support older 
versions? 

AFAIK every Mac built since 2010 is able to run OS X 10.11. My 2010 MBA 
certainly does; I bought it when the 10.7 developer preview came out so that I 
could test Gtk on 10.7 (darn good thing, too, there were some serious issues). 
Gtk has several runtime checks where we have different implementations for 
pre-10.7 systems. It would be a nice cleanup to get rid of them. Conversely it 
wouldn't be too hard to fix GLib so that the notification feature is enabled 
only on 10.9 and later and earlier versions just drop the notification. Making 
that change in git would likely get some push-back from the Gtk core group, but 
gtk-osx has several patches that the core group didn't like so one more is 
hardly a big deal.

Regards,
John Ralls
