Deprecated stuff

With GTK version 2, there are a couple of controls which were marked "deprecated - don't use in new programs". Looks like they mean it. The CList, which still works in Linux, is not fully operational in Windows. So I guess it's on the way out. Fortunately, there's a replacement available, the Listview/Treeview. Unfortunately, it's more trouble to use. Another control marked for deprecation is the option menu. That still works in both, but returns a different value for Linux vs Windows. So, for now, I guess we should take their advice and avoid writing any program that uses the CList control. I will remove it from the package with the next update. Irv
