no problem for (from) me :-) the debian (testing) has a lot GTK3 apps now,
but i know nothing about other distros.

The GTK2 will be death, later or sooner.

Hi Victor,

I still have a few hundreds lucid and maverick clients using YAD. Gtk3
isn't available for these. Therefore I would have a problem to deploy
changes in my scripts (at least when using new YAD-features).

On the other hand its clear that Gtk2 is to be dead soon.

As you kindly ask for our opinion:
I'm still hoping that you can implement my "tabbed dialog" feature
request. :-)
So, if you are willing to realize this feature, please do it before
moving to Gtk3.

Thanks for all the great work!
Best regards,
gotsiboon.

BTW: the new --rest argument is fantastic.

Please keep it for now. I use yad to avoid running large programs on
older machines, may of which require and still use GTK 2.

Thanks

i am replying to Gotsi Boon's mail.

You are both talking about keeping old GTK2 in next releases. Specially
Gotsi was talking about old Ubuntu releases.

I am not developer, but i think, that maintain code for two versions of
the GTK is useless work and you (both ) can use existing versions of the
yad. Removing GTK2 support in future relases will not change existing
versions.

Yes, I have ~800-900 pcs.

Of course any old version of YAD will still function properly. My only
concern is that I really would like to use a feature of tabbed dialogs
(if it's going to be realized anyway). If Victor decides that it is
not possible to implement tabbed dialogs, me and my PCs are
confortable with the status of YAD as it is for now.
I totally agree that it doesn't make sense to do double work.

So, Victor...
up to you. :-)

BR, gotsiboon.

Removing support for gtk+2.0, will take new yad releases off of my desktops running xfce4, which only have gtk+2.0 installed.

perhaps doing removing GTK2 in two steps:

1, first, for some time, make GTK3 as default
2, after some time remove GTK2 at all

can be reasonable solution?

By this, new users will be default pointed to new GTK3 libraries, while
old users can still make it for GTK2?
