Except in this case, win9* users have it entirely in their power to control this, in that they can participate in providing that support. Indeed, Inkscape can *only* feasibly support a given platform if it has adequate participation by users of that platform. Bryce
Do you mean that users will have the power to fix the GTK2.8 bug ? Do you mean that some users should fork gtk ?
Actually, things probably don't require a fork.
The main thing with Windows support at all is that the GNOME, Gtk+, and Gimp people just don't have the developer bodies supporting things.
In general, if they get tested patches that are solid enough, they are more than happy to include things. It's the general lack of developers on Win98 that is the main holdback.
