Re: GLib-2.1.5 release [please test]

[Olivier Fourdan <fourdan xfce org>]

Hi Owen,

(I hope it's not too late for 2.2 :)

I did not take time to dig any further, but it seems that some text
window that used to have a scrollbar with gtk+-2.0.9 have no scrollbar
in 2.1.5 while they clearly should (the text doesn't fit)

Is that a bug in 2.1.5 or is it a cleanup of some old misused widget
function ?

Cheers,
Olivier.
