[oe] [RFC] Smallscreen mod for GtkFileChooser

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello openembedded-devel,

  I've prepared a patch to make GtkFileChooser, a
contemporary gtk's file open/save widget, to suite small, PDA-like
screens (including QVGA) better.

  The patch is available at
http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3634 , with extensive
description at
http://pfalcon-oe.blogspot.com/2008/01/smallscreen-mod-for-gtkfilechooser.html
. I'm glad I've written it in high detail, because Koen quickly
pointed me to similar patches in Poky:

http://svn.o-hand.com/view/poky?rev=3408&view=rev
http://svn.o-hand.com/view/poky?rev=2596&view=rev

  I didn't try them, but they appear to make more invasive changes to
gtk+, though apparently add more features (for good, bad, or for
vendor's requirements).

  So I'd like to ask for discussion of this situation, and deciding on
what version it would be better to import.
