So I should send the patch to yocto at yoctoproject.org<mailto:yocto at yoctoproject.org>, right?

I agree to drop those codes, and it should already be part of the rewrite,
where I can find info about the rewrite, I don’t see any actives in:
git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/matchbox-desktop-2

The latest commit is 3 years ago.

Thanks,
Jackie

matchbox-desktop builds with included libinotify which
is very old (last sync was in 2008), if we compile glib-2.0
with -fvisibility=default (the default is hidden for libglib
and libgio), it will crash because of inconsistency of
inotify-sub, so port the related parts to fix the issue.

matchbox-desktop is maintained by the Yocto Project, so this patch should be applied there and then the recipe updated to the latest git revision.

There's a big rewrite of matchbox-desktop going on, so dropping that code entirely is probably the best idea: just use GIO instead.
