If you cannot stay with gtk20 (the are very few technically sound reasons, but let's assume you *are* unhappy with gtk20) then switch to Qt, or FLTK, Motif, etc. Going gtk30 is troublesome for developers and quite rude for users. > This storry sounds pretty much like the old time of gtk1 -> gtk2 Not really; gtk20 did bring several substantial improvements over gtk12; most notably UTF-8 and better rendering support, antialiased fonts, more useful widgets. It was noticeably slower than gtk12, but not even close to the point when it becomes annoying. (Plethora of warnings that start flooding your terminal window when you run most GTK+ applications is more annoying.) gtk30 is mostly uncalled for, except for gestures/multitouch support; yet its poor performance multiplies everything by zero. ./danfe [1] http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/1269
