Why doesn't GTK+ use RLE for the stock icons?

[Sven Neumann <sven gimp org>]

Hi,

is there any good reason why GTK+ explicitely uses the --raw option
when calling gdk-pixbuf-csource to create inline versions of the stock
icons? Removing the --raw command-line flag makes gdk-pixbuf-csource
use run-length-encoding and reduces the size of the stripped library
by 91kB. This isn't too much but nevertheless a 4% saving in disk
space which we'd get all for free by using the existing technology.


Salut, Sven
