No. We just discovered the problem ourselves. You make a good point about a dialogue being worthwhile, and we should do that. I am willing to compose a note explaining the problem. What forum would be appropriate? Is there a gtk-devel-something-or-other mailing list? Of course, even if we convince them to change, there will be a considerable lag between fixing their code in CVS and libraries appearing in the binary distributions people use for running audio applications. I'm not even at their latest level of GTK-2. For all I know, they could have fixed it already in some newer version. -- joq
