Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT and GTK3 patches

We understand that completely and we will
provide guidance for harder issues.  Most of the outstanding patches
are very simple and mainly replace deprecated/removed APIs with new ones.
 These patches should be easy to process and do not require a lot
of knowledge on SWT.    Bug [1] is a good example where we need
to re-implement a good portion of the code and  I just realized there
is a bigger issue with expose/paint events. Take a look at the bug reported
to see what I mean.

Sorry if I look impatient. In addition to patches
some guidance for issues like [1] will be really needed as the way that
things are currently implemented are suboptimal according to cairo/gtk
guys and there proposal is to having one window and use gtk_window_move
instead which would be quite big change from the current implementation.
I'll let Anatoly provide all the needed info in the bug. What I want to
emphasize on is that even if someone (we) sign for doing a lot of work
- domain knowledge from both swt and cairo/gtk(we have the needed contacts
there) are needed for things getting done.
