Description Vincent Untz 2006-07-30 12:24:15 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #349256 +++

Please help kill libegg. Your module contains some egg code that is now deprecated thanks to new features, most probably the new GTK+ 2.10 features like:

 + GtkRecent* (deprecating EggRecent)
 + GtkStatusIcon (deprecating EggTrayIcon and EggStatusIcon)
 + GtkCellRendererAccel (deprecating EggCellRendererKeys)
 + GtkAccelGroup now has features to deprecate EggAccelerator (see bug 85780)

Also, egg-screen-exec stuff has been deprecated: see http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/libegg/libegg/screen-exec/README

Also, EggIconList has become GtkIconView in GTK+ 2.6.
Comment 1 Martin Grimme 2006-07-30 12:37:30 UTC 
Very good. We wanted to get rid of that egg code anyway.
Comment 2 Christian Meyer 2006-09-18 08:41:49 UTC 
v0.40 won't have tray icon support and as for 0.35.x we simply don't want to remove the EggCode, since there are some people around having >=gtk+2.8.
Assigning for now, will close it later.
Comment 3 Christian Meyer 2006-09-20 17:19:11 UTC 
Bug also blocks #171727.
Comment 4 Christian Meyer 2007-07-03 23:55:32 UTC 
We should remove the egg code for v0.36. Martin, do you agree?
Comment 5 Christian Meyer 2007-08-16 19:05:27 UTC 
fixed in bzr repo
