Description Filippo Argiolas 2009-06-21 16:40:46 UTC 
Now that the widget landed in in gtk+ there is no reason to keep using and maintaining a custom one. GEdit itself already did the switch (they build with infobar if gtk+ >= 2.17.2 but will probably completely drop message area soon).
IMHO we can just drop it since we're already closely following gtk+ releases and it will be in gtk+ 2.18 in time for 2.28.
Comment 1 Jaap A. Haitsma 2009-06-21 17:22:56 UTC 
Agree. I suggest just bumping gtk+ >= 2.17.2
You can also rip out 
cheese_about_dialog_handle_url and
cheese_about_dialog_handle_email
because these links work by default in gtk 2.17.2 :-)
