 Hi, 

 I think gtk+-1.2.10 should be officially released before 1.4 deadline. As I
understand, gtk maintainers decided to release it (they even bumped minor
version number to 10 in configure.in) but gave up releasing it for some
reason. See http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/gtk%2b/ChangeLog for more info..

 I18n in gtk+-1.2.9 is totally broken - it doesn't allow cutting and pasting
any text that contains international characters (true at least for russian,
may be true for iso-8859-1 - didn't check it), and also another couple of i18n
problems. The fixes for these problems are in the CVS for a long time (about 2
weeks).

 See the following threads:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2001-March/msg00381.html
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2001-March/msg00379.html


 I think gnome-1.4 should contain gtk with all fixes - i.e. gtk+-1.2.10
should be released first, and then included in gnome-1.4.
