Description Loïc Minier 2004-10-17 16:09:03 UTC 
The tutorial for GTK 2 uses deprecated functions:
<http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/sec-calendar.html>

Compile the example source code (which has syntax errors, just comment them
out), you should see that launching within a LC_ALL=C will show weeks starting
on sunday, whatever you do with the "weeks start on monday" checkbox.

Cecause gtk_calendar_display_options() is deprecated, as well as
GTK_CALENDAR_WEEK_START_MONDAY, some users are confused.  The API reference is
correct though.

Please include a warning in the tutorial that it is outdated.

This is Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/272054>.

Regards,

We're (slowly) updating the tutorial. No need to file bugs about individual
sections, unless you want to attach an updated text.
Comment 2 Loïc Minier 2004-12-24 10:33:26 UTC 
I understand you don't want a bug for every section out of date if the whole
manual is out of date, but I suggest putting a (big fat) warning at the
beginning of the tutorial at least so people can check in the API reference
instead.  Think of people searching examples via search engines for example!

My suggestion for this particular source code problem is to remove the
gtk_calendar_display_options() altogether.
