   Mmm.  I don't like it when someone drives over my part of the noosphere
   either.

Turns out that it was a case of miscommunication here.  The person who
actually made the changes thought I had finished with 3.0, and so he'd
be free to make changes.  I still don't think he should have done that
without discussing it with me.

   That's the worst kind.  Too good to ignore, but, not as good as if you'd
   done it yourself.  At least, from your point of view.

Well, the short term issue is that the Gimp's sliders aren't as good
as GTK's.

   We won't know if it's compatible or not until someone actually tries it,
   which is more likely to happen if it's checked in.

OK, I'll put it in.  We'll back it out if there's a problem.

   Can he implement them on top of the new version?

Same issue.  Steve's working on the GUI and shouldn't have the rug
yanked out from under him.  The problem is that they're more than just
cosmetic changes;
