Can you please elaborate?

I'm sure gtkme solves some problems, but frankly, tons of other pygtk
apps do work without gtkme, so you'll understand we need a bit more
than "it solves some problems" to be convinced we need it...
especially when it currently *creates* problems for us. Maybe I missed
the place where all this is explained, but even a README file I was
not able to find.

Sure. I think Alan's question rather was whether we want to go on
using gtkme at all, not whether we want to maintain it ourselves.

Bye,
