Description Owen Taylor 2002-01-31 20:10:05 UTC 
RC styles bindings are currently merged ordered by:

 1) Type (widget, widget_class, class)
 2) Priority specified in RC file
 3) ordering in file (later wins)

To make specified priorities meaningful, I think we 
need to reverse 1) and 2). This isn't going to be
easy to implement, but probably needs to be done. 
I doubt it will cause problems for anybody.

Also, there is no way to "unset" the engine back
to the default in a merged RC style; we might want
to support engine "" {} to mean this.

	* gtk/gtkrc.c (gtk_rc_get_style): Fix ordering of
	priorities so that priorities take precendence over
	the ordering by type. (#70205)

	* test/testgtkrc tests/testgtk.c (create_rc_file): Add 
	some labels to test priorities in testgtkrc.
