227986 - EmbedPrompter should use GtkComboBox on gtk+ 2.4

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Christian Persch (GNOME) (away; not receiving bug mail)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823 Netscape/7.0

The embed prompt implementation uses a GtkOptionMenu when selecting from a list.
Since gtk+ 2.3.1, GtkOptionMenu is deprecated in favour of GtkComboBox. When
compiled with gtk+ >= 2.3.1, embed prompter should use a GtkComboBox instead.

Reproducible: Always

patch to use GtkComboBox on gtk+ 2.3.1 and above

Just one comment here -- I'd rather do the version check once, like this:

#if GTK_CHECK_VERSION(2,3,1)
#define USE_GTK_COMBOBOX
#endif

and then use #ifdef USE_GTK_COMBOBOX

This just avoids duplicating the version number, useful if we need to ever
change it.

r=bryner with that change.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This bug is still valid.

The patch above has r+sr, but I'm unsure about whether it should be checked in
since it would cause a hard dependency on gtk 2.4. In other places in the
codebase people go to ridiculous lengths (dynamically open the .so) to avoid
that, but maybe in the embedding widget it's okay?

same patch as above, but just unbitrotten... going to get timeless's review on this, though, as the patch _was_ written in 2003 :/

unbitrotten patch

this seems reasonable, although chpe's warning scares me more than i think it should.

According to bug 408238 this should be reopened?
