RFC: Deprecate GTK_{RESPONSE,STOCK}_{YES,NO}



Hi,

The pure existence of GTK_RESPONSE_YES, GTK_RESPONSE_NO, GTK_STOCK_YES
and GTK_STOCK_NO encourages creation of horrible user interfaces. One
recent example is on Planet GNOME right now[1]. Other examples were
posted on Planet GNOME in the past, and still exist in applications like
OpenOffice.org.

So I wonder if we should deprecated those symbols, in the hope that
people obey the GNOME HIG and properly label the buttons of their
message dialogs.

Ciao,
Mathias
