RE: [platform-swt-dev] patch for gtk2 binding

Title: RE: [platform-swt-dev] patch for gtk2 binding

The API documents on the GTK website list it
under the Deprecated category.  Please see:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/index.html

SWT will continue to work fine with the GtkPixmap
class but it has been suggested on a few lists and
in the GNOME 2 porting guide that developers should
be using GtkImage. 

SWT/GTK is currently using several deprecated GTK
APIs.  I would guess this was primarily done in order to
meet the 2.0 freeze dates.  What is the policy going
forward on using deprecated APIs?  Is it a priority
to move away from these methods?  Also, is it a priority
to replace emulated objects with native peers where
they exist (CoolBar, CoolItem)?

Thanks
-Jeff
