gEDA-user: Do any gEDA users depend on tear-off menus with GTK? (Using gEDA apps)

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just came across a proposal to remove the tear-off menu feature in
GTK. Whilst generally none of our business how up-stream tool-kits alter
their UI - outside of its programming interface, I was just wondering if
anyone actually used the feature?

I "think" I've used it before with PCB, to have some menus permanently
open, and within easy reach. I don't feel so strongly about it to cause
a fuss - and since I don't actively use the feature regularly, I'd
probably be seen as trolling anyway.. opposing change for the sake of
opposing change.


If anyone _does_ use the feature, and would miss it.. here is the bug
report where it is discussed:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597904


At the meeting, there was no opposition to its removal, so is probably
destined for oblivion in GTK 3.0.

Speak now - or loose it. (Might loose it anyway of course!)

Best wishes,

Peter C.
