I've given up on providing one simple is-this-change-ok? callback because there are just too many types in play, what with the CellRenderers not sharing enough common interfaces. But I still think that this could be done in GTK+ itself some day.

I set up a linux server at work as a cvs repository for my stuff and the web developers. I haven't […]
