If it's builtin to a GTK library (or in gtkspell), great, pan depends on GTK (and gtkspell when the appropriate compile time option is enabled) already, altho if it's a new feature it should be made to degrade gracefully with older versions. (FWIW, this is why pan doesn't have its own printing support yet, it was formerly a gnome option, now it's gtk, but only newer gtk, and pan hasn't implemented it due to both lack of the correctly rounded tuit <g>, and to worries about backward compatibility with older gtks). If it's a full GNOME library, then Charles (and many users including myself agree, I'm a KDE user not a GNOME user, <index fingers crossed in front of me as if defending against a demon!> keep that stuff off my system!) doesn't want to bring in all those extra dependencies. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
