Separators should never be used in HIG compliant dialogs, but all GTK+ really can do is, where it's compatible with existing API and property defaults, gently encourage HIG compliance. (After all, GTK+ isn't just used on GNOME.) If changing the separator to default to off was sufficiently compatible, we probably would, but it isn't. Regards, Owen
