Description Jan Niklas Hasse (Account disabled) 2007-08-20 21:20:31 UTC 
I think GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC should be the default policy for a newly created GtkScrolledWindow. Glade already does that.

property defaults are part of the API in Gtk+, so they cannot be changed.

Sorry for asking: Why not?

because it would be an API break. every application relying on the default would need to be changed and recompiled after such a break. hence, "property defaults are part of the API".

Maybe this could be proposed for Gtk+ 3?
Comment 5 Christian Dywan 2010-01-05 08:09:04 UTC 
I think it's worth considering for GTK+ 3.0, hence setting the version and target appropriately.
