Not so. If you're talking about the way it splits buffers into
categories, I don't call this a "way of adressing the problem". If
you happen to have many buffers in the misc submenu for instance,
you'll get the problem.
Correct. But it works most of the time.
My hack doesn't address the problem completely either - you can still
have too many fonts that start with `a', it's just that in the most
common case that doesn't happen.
I never liked the way the Buffers menu was split. I would like to be
able to have the buffers grouped based on the projects they belong to
(or something like that). Splitting them based on the major mode (or
alphabetically) doesn't help much, IMHO. Same with fonts - maybe I
want all the iso-8859-2 fonts, not all those starting with `B'. Menus
are just not powerful enough to handle that.
But still, a gtk port doesn't mean that we'll get rid of the
other
ports that we have already
Why not? If GTK & Qt are portable enough, I think it would be much
better to get rid of the old stuff completely. The code will be much
cleaner and the experience more consistent. If some platforms don't
have the toolkit, then the user will be required to install that
first. Isn't that the same as with the png library?
