[Gambas-user] GTK component in 1.9.29

[Jose J. Rodriguez]

Well, the good news is I updated glib2, cairo, pango and gtk+2 using
the Slackware current packages and am now working in Gambas 1.9.29.
Thank you Daniel for your hard work. I'd help if only I knew some C or
C++, but that is not the case.

Regards,
