How did you get GTK3/4 to work without dbus?

I got rid of dbus in GTK3 by patching the code so that the "accessibility bridge" (to ATK) can be disabled. GTK4 is beneath contempt and will not be supported.

The system uses GTK2 wherever possible, or GTK3 when not. I will either port everything to GTK2 later or create some kind of shim library. Help wanted here. Porting back to GTK2 isn't hard, I just don't have time to work on any of that at the moment.

I'm running Gentoo without dbus and I'm stuck at gtk 3.24.34. I would love to see those patches. Your site appears to be down.

		It's just HTTP only (no SSL) and there's nothing there. ... until now! Here's some nice GTK3 patches for you: http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-allow-disabling-atk-b... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-allow-transparent-win... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-allow-wheel-scrolling... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-appearance-tweaks-and... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-disable-mnemonics-del... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-file-chooser-tweaks.p... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-remove-dead-key-under... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-restore-old-context-m... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-set-default-settings.... http://killthe.net/patches/gtk-3.24.43-show-alternating-row-... Note that GTK 3.24.43 is the last version of GTK3. My system is full of patches like this to tweak, improve, and adjust things. The point is to get off the "upgrade" treadmill and focus on making things work right.
