Hi,

I had to rebuild Galeon 2 in order to get the fonts in the menus
back (I suppose this is due to the libpango update).

The build failed, because parts of the GTK and/or GNOME API were
deprecated in version 2.5. I was able to work around the problem by
removing the following defines from Galeon's Makefiles:

-DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED          \
-DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED        \
-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED        \
-DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \
-DGNOME_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

This produced in a flawlessly running Galeon. I don't know whether it
would legitimate to remove those defines, that guard deprecated parts of
the API, in the ports collection.

IMO, they are meant for developers only, and while the Galeon developers
are (hopefully ;-) busy porting it to the new GNOME version, the suggested
changes are a workaround for those who want to test GNOME 2.5 and who
cannot live without Galeon :-)

If you want I can prepare patches for the respective Makefile.in files,
e.g. for the MarcusCom repository.

Simon
