There's a public roadmap for this? Regarding claws-mail there's already a GTK+3 branch, though not really ready for daily usage unless you like crashes and losing features... but there's other packages like sylpheed which have no plans for switching AFAIK. Anyway, isn't funny and paradoxical that ancient packages just using X libraries are going to survive probably more useful GTK+2 ones? :-) regards, P.S.: please Cc on reply, I'm not subscribed to debian-release right now. -- Ricardo Mones ~ You have the capacity to learn from mistakes.
