Andrei, I've looked through this and can commit a set of patches that would allow us to build against the latest detected version of Gtk+ on the user's system (which can also be overridden with the ./configure switch). I know we decided to stick with 2.6 for our release; but there are many users out there who would want to try out the new widgets that 2.10 offers; especially given the fact that they were actually moved out of the Gnome library and into Gtk+. I think it'll be good if we can have this and the 2.10 defs in CVS; atlest everyone has a chance to use the new widgets if they want to. We can still base our final release on 2.6; since we're not including defs in releases anyway. Let me know :) -- Anant
