I was able to work around this by using a gtk_widget_hide+gtk_widget_show combo in my expander/collapse callbacks, but it does appear to be a toolkit issue as this doesn't happen in X11. Yes, I realize it's a deprecated widget and will yank it out when I convert the code base over to GTK3 eventually.

Tony,

Thanks for the kind words, but please do use the mailing list rather than emailing me directly.

If your pixbufs load from the command line but not from the bundle, then either you've left something out of the bundle or you used compiled-in paths instead of a dynamic locator (quartz_application_get_resource_path(), for example) to find your something. If you've made good use of g_return_if_fail() in your code there should be some diagnostics in the Console log. Do the "stock" pixbufs from Gtk load?

There was a problem with DnD that I fixed on Monday, and gtk-2-24-quartz had fallen a bit behind gtk-2-24 (I stopped doing the nightly merges because Emmanuel Bassi complained about the noise in Git). I've just done a merge and pushed, so try building again with "modulesets". If you're still having problems with DnD, open a bug against gtk-quartz in bugzilla.

GtkCTree has been deprecated for a long time (since Gtk+-2.0 if you believe the note in the docs), and hasn't had any significant maintenance in years. You're not going to get anyone to be interested in working on it, so the sooner you migrate your code to GtkTreeView the better.
