So part of GTK 2.x isn't usable? Why won't they fix the bug? Surely deprecated stuff should be supported until 3.x.
With GTK, in general deprecated seems to mean unsupported, so unlikely :-(.
This seems bad for a toolkit as important as GTK.
Yeah, I think it's weird especially because the fix is really trivial (see below).
Glade 2.12.2 is about 2.5 years old so I think it's not too old for GTK to drop support for it.
Nobody is interested in it, its even hard to find a download of 2.12
Latest Fedora still seems to package it: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=glade2&system=fedora
Must be using an older GTK or maybe they hacked a fix.
As said, the only thing that's needed is to move includes outside header guards, and you're done.
Maybe they would accept a patch?
