Re: GtkGlArea port to GTK+3 : RFYC

[Tarnyko <tarnyko tarnyko net>]

Hi folks, 

Could someone give feedback on the following patch/bug, adding support for 
GTK+3 to the GtkGLArea helper library ? 

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707723 

PS : As of today, there is no cross-platform and standard way to render a GL 
context in a GTK+3 widget. I landed on this when trying to port GNOME Chess 
(http://www.tarnyko.net/en/?q=node/40). 

Regards,
Tarnyko
