Re: [Openev-discuss] pygtk version

[Diana Esch-M. <des...@la...>]

I have started to look at this issue more closely. The biggest changes
come in the GtkGLArea -> GtkGLext or an even different implementation.
The core of Gtk/Gdk has changed with the implementation of GTK/GDKPixBuf
and I think these new features could be taken advantage of, and this is
the grungy/grimy guts of OpenEV. There are several deprecated widgets
that would need to be recoded - GtkList comes to mind.
