Sadly, such bugs almost never actually cite what the better alternatives are… It would be helpful for those, like the OP, who don't or can't search. It is mentioned that radare had it as a dependancy - but I can't see what radare now uses in it's place. I'll never miss gtkdialog because I use kdialog, but zenity is popular and probably useful as a replacement. And I'm confident a quick search of debian packages would yield others, otherwise the OP could always repackage upstream for his Mint/Antix remixed distro.

I've used it and it's pretty easy to use. I'm not sure how close the syntax is to gtkdialog, though. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Why did gtkdialog disappear from the repository?
Thanks for updating me. I'm switching to PyGTK. A good example of a dialog box consisting of buttons to push to perform a certain action is at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/PyGTK_For_GUI_Programming/Signals . At least I can be sure that PyGTK will be properly maintained, as it's part of Python. Given how widely Python is used, I can't imagine support for it being dropped. (And it's included with Linux Mint and antiX Linux.)
