[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Bug in Maemo's version of GTK-2.6 (Please nokia-devs look into this)

[From: Clemens Eisserer]

Hi again,

I do not have any idea wether this really is a "spec" violation, I am
currently talking to gtk devs what they think about this issue.
Furthermore the N770 is the first platform which "claims" to be
GTK-2.6 compatible but in fact breaks GNU-Classpath's AWT peers.

In fact the only guys which loose are that one that want to play J2ME
games on their Nokia770 and Nokia indirectly selling less devices - I
am not willed to hack Classpath's code just to make it run on the
Nokia770 if the code is really right (this needs to be checked).
The more I have to play with such broken low-level things the later I
can start working on my main project.
After all a bit more serious documentation (read: no howtos!) and
maybe better support for developers wouldn't that bad too, however
thats another topic.

However its still really stupid to let it return 24-bit as preferred
depth since every time bliting this pixmap will always force this
underpowered device to do tons of pixel-conversations - which is
especially bad for games or double-buffered painting.

I tried it on 7 different Linux desktop systems and it always returns
the deth at which the display is running so why should it be different
when running on the 770?
