Bug 424932 – =net-p2p/transmission-remote-gtk-1.1: request to go back to using GTK+2 for "graph feature"

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexandre Borges Marcelo 2012-07-05 14:56:48 UTC]

Since the graph feature in transmission-remote-gtk doesn't work with gtk3, I'd like to request a gtk3 USE flag, so we can have the graph until its issues with gtk3 are resolved upstream.

Reproducible: Always

According to bug #420493, we should all be moving /away/ from using IUSE=gtk3.

[Comment 4 Jeff (JD) Horelick (RETIRED) 2012-07-05 17:51:50 UTC]

I somewhat agree with Alexandre here. Gtk3 support should never have been conditionally enabled by default if ANY features are missing compared to gtk2.

That is the official policy of the GNOME team so until upstream makes the graph work on gtk3, gtk2 should be used.

Is any of this still relavent with the version 1.1? The GTK+-3 GUI works _great_ here with 1.1.

Yes, the graph feature is still disabled for gtk3.

Checking up on this, the author branched 1.0.2 to experiment on fixing the graph on gtk3, but it appears completely forgotten for the past 2 years. I rather like the feature but don't know how to fix it, so I'll stick with my gtk2 1.0 version for now. And since nobody else seems to care for it, especially upstream, I think better to close this than to leave it on limbo. Thanks for the attention. =)
