Looks somewhat obscure and low-level.The conditions that led to use needing to do this are obscure. The fix is definitely low level. But the issue is a design that landed in GTK+ some years ago (possibly as many as 10 years ago), and is fundamentally problematic. Replacing a call to some variant of poll() with a call into the native windowing system's own event loop is ... well, different :)I think on bugzilla it would have more chances to be read by someone
interested to improve the quartz support in the future. When doing a
complete overhaul, looking at the existing reported bugs seems a good
thing to do.I would say that there is a 90% chance that I will be person to reimplement things. I wasn't looking so much for someone to fix it for me, but to see how much moral support I might raise :)_______________________________________________
