User feedback on Gtk+-2.0!

[Thomas Leonard <tal00r ecs soton ac uk>]

Hi everyone,

A few days ago I released ROX-Filer 1.3.0, which is the first version to
compile against Gtk+-2.0 by default. I thought you might be interested to
see the feedback I've got so far...

People all seem happy about the new look (no complaints about icons in
dialog boxes, etc :-). A couple of recurring themes have appeared,
however... (keys and fonts)

A couple of people have suggested that ROX-Filer should turn keybindings
on itself, but I think that will lead to inconsitancy with other apps. For
now, I've put a warning message in the options box if keybindings are
disabled. Oh well. Hopefully once more Gtk+-2.0 applications are out
there, people will file bugs against Gtk instead of writing to me ;-)
