Re: stronger deprecation

[Mikael Hermansson <mikeh bahnhof se>]

I fully agree on your suggestion. 

If not all agree on this there should atleast be a warning like: 
g_warning("THIS WIDGET IS DEPRECATED USE [OTHER WIDGET] INSTEAD\n");

Btw, How far has the new GtkCList/CTree replacement gone?
Will it be merged before 2.0 release? 

Greats
