The only minor issue is that the size of all fonts in the UI is larger than that of native Windows apps - likely a GTK issue though. GTK even translated some (far from all) labels in the interface into Russian, because my Windows is Russian-localized :)
I would bet that this is Pango at work. Again, since GTK2 is dependent on Pango, we might as well use its services. On Windows, we must include the Pango DLL, or Windows will not run GTK2. So use it! ;-)
This goes along with what I said earlier, and is related to using Java on Netscape. If the customer does not have the library already, and we have a dependency on it, it is -OUR- responsibility to provide it. NOT THEIRS. Java on NS died because of the "download factor". Asking a user to download more stuff, else your software will not work, is a killer.
Po-russkij, our software must be samostoyatel'nij. It must survive in a harsh environment on its own. My idea is that when we consider libraries like Cairo, Javascript, LibWWW, etc., we must first investigate their portability, and if they are portable, then a part of our source tree should have snapshots of them in it, that we know are guaranteed to run. That is how Mozilla does it.
Just IHMO, poor humble opinion.
Anyway, thanks for testing it, and Merry Christmas to all.
