There are a couple of places in the GTK frontend where i check for GTK version, and this is because i once used to compile it against GTK 2.8/2.9 while 2.0.9 was used in the d-i. Now that d-i has switched to 2.8.x, there would be no longer need for version check: should i remove the version checks so that compiling the GTK frontend against old GTKDFB 2.0.9 will simply fail?I talked to Davide on IRC yesterday and he told me that 2 of the RC issues [1] are fixed in new 2.10.x libs but may be hard to backport to 2.8.x. As long as we do not have definite confirmation from Gnome/GTK team that they will go with 2.10.x for Etch and these issues are not fixed in 2.8.x, I'd like to keep 2.0.9 open as an option [2].
[1] is solved in GTK+ 2.10.x, and 2.0.9 requires patches to work with DFB post 0.9.22 (but cairo is not needed with GTK+ < 2.8.0).. but ok, let's maintain compatibility with old GTK 2.0.9: code cleanup will wait!
