Description mycrapaccount 2006-10-29 13:40:26 UTC 
if i understand correctly, the current design of gtk is flat (no abstractions).
i think that it can be nice (and in the long run, easier to maintain), if a meta 
goal for v3.0 will be a move toward a more flexible design.

I can't imagine going to the Swing-style of "everything's MVC"; a MVC
label or single-line entry is just a pain.

The MVC (well, MV) pattern is already used for things where it makes
sense - GtkTextView, GtkTreeView, GtkComboBox, and the GtkAction
system is basically a model-view way of doing menus and toolbars.

hi owen, thanks for your reply!
 a little context: the MVC issue arose when discussion the mac-menu patch:
 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353076
 here:
 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241868

 moving to MVC, if not fully, than at least "more-partially", will allow such
 changes to be made easier.

Thanks in advance!
