Re: about including gpaint

[Andy Tai <lichengtai yahoo com>]

Just to clarify. I created gtk-canvas, but gpaint does
not use gtk-canvas.  In fact, gpaint just use the
gtkdrawingarea and does not use gtk- or gnome-canvas
at all.  Also gpaint uses the standard gnome libraries
and will use gnome-print in the next version that I am
working on.  

The people making this accusation obviously have not
download gpaint at all and looked at it.
