I have two questions regarding working on libbonobo-ui. 1. libbonoboui is marked as to be deprecated. Is it worth the effort of fixing a soon to be deprecated library?
It can be fixed still if it has problems. But due to the second problem it's a question indeed.
2. Because libbonobui is a library that other programs depend on, won't changing the functions signatures break other programs relying on libbonoboui?
Another solution would be to fix gtkhtml to not use libbonoboui. There were some efforts about that, for example evolution has kill-bonobo branch in active development. http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/evolution/branches/kill-bonobo/ Probably this needs more serious discussion on evolution-devel. As well as it illustrates that even a very minor change like deprecation of public API can cause serious problems. Probably goal and deprecation wasn't well thought out.
