From 942bda7db4b7b9e5bae6ad1ad81295b1f346a9f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Přemysl Janouch Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2018 14:09:42 +0200 Subject: Use XCB and SelectSelectionInput instead of GTK+ As it happens, there is no real need to constantly poll for changes, since XFixes can inform us of updates as they happen. With GTK+ gone we've got dependencies and error handling under control. XCB is a truly awful thing to learn, though. Our method will never work on Wayland or Windows, so we don't miss out on anything by abandoning the huge toolkit. --- README.adoc | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'README.adoc') diff --git a/README.adoc b/README.adoc index 3cbd303..cfad569 100644 --- a/README.adoc +++ b/README.adoc @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ dictionary software of this kind, GUI or not, and thus decided to write my own.
