Kou: are you sure you want to keep your commit regarding the previously mentioned problem? That release of GTK+ fixes the bad type of the cursor property, and the test crash now runs smoothly on rg2 0.19.1. So it means your commit is only needed when using gtk 2.17.x to 2.18.0, which looks like a corner case… ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthias C.

Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application suites. GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides an effective method of rapid application development. GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all developers, including those developing proprietary software, without any license fees or royalties. # Where to get more information about GTK+ Information about GTK+ including links to documentation can be found at: > **[The GTK Project - A free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit](https://www.gtk.org/)** > > GTK is a free and open-source cross-platform widget toolkit for creating graphical user interfaces.

We marks GTK+ 2.18.0 as unsupported GTK+ version. Guillaume, thanks for your work! – kou
