Grammar mistakes seems to be the only way of catching attention,
but thanks for pointing this out. ;-)
The link I have sent in two of my emails points to a gerrit review, where
I have marked the relevant parts.
Could you please check it? It should do as fine as a minimal example to
experienced eyes.

Several core developers, most notably Gerald Combs work hard on improving
the Qt GUI, but the GTK+ 2/3 GUI still works fine on Linux, too.
If the deprecation warnings could be fixed, we may be able to keep it alive for
some time.

The frequent API changes played a huge role in deciding to switch, but if I get
some help here in handling them I can keep the GTK+ UI in acceptable state.

Thanks in advance,
Balint
