Both GTK+ and the GIMP are very, very close to a 1.0 release. For the GTK+, one can assume that the library interface will be stable for a while. Like I said, this is probably a 2.1 thing. 2.1 should be one hell of a release. I should (knock wood) have a lot of X issues ironed out by then; we'll have APT; we'll be moved to FHS; Mozilla, GTK+, GIMP, and GNOME will have been hacked on enough to make outsiders drool just by looking at them; etc. Who knows, kernel 2.2 may even be out by then. Quite a bit of change for a "minor" version increment. -- G. Branden Robinson | Kissing girls is a goodness. It is a Purdue University | growing closer.
