Re: What's the deal with gtkglarea?



Madeningly, it is not included with Fedora, or Mandrake. Fortunately,
on Mandrake at least, it is easy to install with urpmi (assuming
correct repositories are set up). I assume it can also easily be
installed on Fedora with yum.

GtkGLArea is effectively dead.  GtkGLExt is a much better
replacement for Gtk+2 apps.



Yet its popular enough to be in every distro.



It's more like ,most distros include it as a legacy package
because some apps still depend on it`.

I think a better question is why isn't GtkGLExt included in more
distros?  I haven't seen it in any SuSE distro or RH EL 4.  Is it
included in Fedora or others?
