[Lxde-list] Break backward compatibility

[洪. <pcm...@gm...>]

Hi list,
I'm wondering if it's the right time to break backward compatibility
with gtk+ 2.6. It's almost four years since the release of gtk+ 2.6.
Lately there are some exciting new features in glib and gtk+. Since
it's already installed on most distros, there is no reason not to use
it unless there are some target platforms requiring gtk+ 2.6. I'm not
sure about the condition of some embedded systems. However, since all
modern distros upgraded gtk+/glib, and most newer programs requires
them, the benefit gotten from the backward compatibility is minimized.
Besides, using the latest gtk+/glib can greatly simplify many things,
and make the development much faster.

This is still a proposal. So, opinions are needed.
