LSB:PM:GTK+ Uplift
From The Linux Foundation
Contents |
Executive Summary
This project was approved, along with LSB:PM:Cairo, but as a lower-priority project, which can be postponed if necessary. It has not been started yet.
Vision
The LSB 3.x series included the GTK+ Stack, based on the ABI for 2.6. Upstream is now on 2.12, and preparing to release 2.14.
While we continue to be compatible with the shipping GTK+, there are new features in the newer versions of GTK+ that we should consider enabling.

Comments
According to our current plan for LSB 4, we cannot upgrade any farther than GTK+ 2.8. Is this worth doing?
Also, implementing this is dependent on implementing LSB:PM:Cairo.
