Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2005-09-27 15:05:03 UTC 
I don't think that bug #7379 is the right solution to the problem. There are
other, much better concepts that would solve the problem of the bad window
handling of the Win32 platform (see for example bug #121087). For the moment
there's also the Deweirdifier plug-in that seems to fix it for most Win32 users.

Also, may I ask what is the purpose of this meta bug report?
Comment 3 Prognathous 2005-09-27 15:58:14 UTC 
Meta bugs help in finding other bugs that are related to a specific issue. They
help end-users avoid reporting bugs that are already in the database, and they
help people who are actively involved in a project to see the biggger picture
and to properly triage depended bugs.

Thanks for the mentioning Deweirdifier, it might just be what I'm looking for.

Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2005-09-28 17:13:53 UTC 
Sure, I know what a tracking bug is good for. But I wonder why the Windows
platform needs its own tracking bug. If the purpose is to identify GUI
inconsistencies with the Win32 platform, then you should probably move the bug
report to the GTK+ product.
Comment 5 Michael Schumacher 2005-10-15 12:57:53 UTC 
Hm, one also has to wonder how there can be inconsistencies on a platform which
has no consistent user interface at all...
Comment 6 Sven Neumann 2005-11-04 17:57:24 UTC 
I am resolving this report as OBSOLETE. The bugs that it is tracking are either
not Win32 specific or have been resolved.
