Hi All,
The GtkHandleBox widget is deprecated since GTK+ 3.4 and will eventually be removed completely. We currently use it to provide "tear-off" toolboxes, so we'll eventually have to rework our code somehow. Some possible solutions:
1. Get rid of "tear-off" functionality completely, and just have fixed toolboxes... probably the easiest option!
2. Switch to using GDL and putting all toolboxes into a dockable dialog.
3. "Adopt" the GtkHandleBox code and maintain a fork of it (as we did with GtkRuler)
4. Something radical, new and exciting..!?
In any case, this is probably not something we want to do for Inkscape 0.49 because it involves a major reworking of a prominent UI feature!
Any thoughts?
Alex
