I don’t like such applications on my N810:
The application could be ported to use a HildonWindow if compiled for the maemo platform. But it would be much easier if there were an abstract GTK+ widget which would allow it to add a menu and toolbars to a window in a (platform specific) default layout.
I imagine something like:
With this proposal, it would also be possible to implement a Mac-style MenuBar without a GtkMenuBar hack.
See Bug 533003.
p.s. I don’t like the name GtkMainWindow. Maybe something like GtkDefaultWindow or GtkSimpleWindow would be better.
Excellent! I’ve been trying to suggest this for years (without the time to actually do it).
It’s also be handy for ROX-based distributions to change Gtk+ behaviour to be more RISC OS-like (i.e. everything a context menu)
