Re: GTK+ and libnotify requirements for 0.7 gnome applet

[Robert Piasek <robert piasek co uk>]

Dan,

Considering GTK+2.10 is available for year and the half now I don't think too many people who want to use _new_ software (NM7) will cry about it.
On my distribution (gentoo) the oldest available gtk+-2XX (as of today in official repository) is 2.10.14


* x11-libs/gtk+
    gentoo:                  1.2.10-r12 {:1} 2.10.14 2.12.1-r2 {:2} 
    xeffects:                2.10.13 2.10.14 2.12.0 {:2} 
    installed:               2.12.1-r2* {:2} 
    Description:             Gimp ToolKit +
    Homepage:                http://www.gtk.org/
    Relevant USE flags:      (X) (cups) (-debug) (-doc) (jpeg) (tiff) (-vim-syntax) (xinerama)
