Old bug (or not) 77566...



This bug:
    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77566

Was laid down as "not a bug" but IMHO, it is.
(or there is a very related bug... ;-)

The problem is:

gtk+-1.2 GtkCellRendererText / GtkTextTag
   - Both have a member "font" of type "PangoFontDescription"

gtk+-2.0 GtkCellRendererText / GtkTextTag
   - Both have a member "font" of type "PangoFontDescription *"

And I guess this was around the same time as PangoFontDescription went
private and became a forward declaration in pango-font.h.

Thing is, I dont know what is the policy exactly on api compatibility,
but I think that if you dont change the major version on pango when
you make this change, you break the API :-(

Right now I have to figure out how I'm going to handle this but,
if it belongs in the list, I'd be happy to file a bug report.

Cheers,
                         -Tristan
