Dude, you're getting a FAQ link!  :)
http://www.gtk.org/faq/
Section 3.5

Well, I don't know about that.  What I think is much worse is the broken 
search tool for the listserv archives @lists.gnome.org and how it returns 0 
results for anything you search for.  For example, you said "OpenGL":  do a 
search for that in the Jan archives and you will not even find your own 
message listed in the search results.  That seriously limits usability of 
the archives, and if that worked, common/recurring questions would be 
posted less often probably.  I'm not saying your's was common, because 
since I can't search the archives, how can I even tell.  :)
