To make use of this feature, + a clipboard manager following the specification at + http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fclipboard_2dmanager_2dspec + must be running. A sample implementation of such a clipboard manager + is available at + http://people.imendio.com/andersca/archives/clipboard-manager-0.3.tar.gz + +* The icon theme code in GTK+ 2.6 follows the icon theme specification. + Therefore, icon themes are looked for in $HOME/.icons, $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons, + $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps. + +* The icon theme code in GTK+ 2.6 can make use of mmap()able cache files + to avoid a lot of disk searching overhead. GTK+ includes a utility named + gtk-update-icon-cache to generate these cache files. For further details, + see the gtk-update-icon-cache man page or the GTK+ documentation. + +* GTK+ uses a technique involving macros for reducing the amount of PLT + redirections which has the side effect that the names of internally used + GLib functions are prefixed with IA__. The g_return_if_fail() macros + strip this prefix away, but it will show up e.g. in a debugger. + +* The linux framebuffer GDK backend included in the gdk/linux-fb of GTK+ + is provided on a as-is basis and has not been tested at all. No + guarantees about the degree of workingness or about future + compatibility are provided. + +* The following functions have been deprecated in GTK+ 2.6: + gdk_pango_context_set_colormap + gtk_cell_renderer_editing_canceled + * The new GtkFileChooser widget emphasizes simplicity and thus does not provide a navigation entry by default when opening files.
