Description André Klapper 2009-07-26 14:25:40 UTC 
According to http://www.gnome.org/~fpeters/299.html Balsa uses deprecated symbols that will be removed for GTK+ 3.

See http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/GTK%2B and http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/Glib .

g_strncasecmp
gdk_color_black
gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip
gtk_tooltips_set_tip
gtk_widget_ref

Thanks for looking over Balsa!

Oops--fixed

> gdk_color_black
That was commented out--I've reworded the comment.

> gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip
The replacement gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip_text is since 2.16, and Balsa requires only 2.14+, so we have conditional code that still uses the older api.

> gtk_tooltips_set_tip
> gtk_widget_ref
> gtk_widget_unref

Those were all in dead code that's been removed in master.

So, can this bug marked as fixed? ;)
Comment 3 Peter Bloomfield 2009-08-02 20:01:17 UTC 
Yes.

Balsa is always built with *_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, so when gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip is officially deprecated, the compatibility code will be dropped.
