Is that to say that this build from Sep 3rd
http://denemo.org/~jjbenham/gub/uploads/denemo-0.0.0-0.mingw.exe
is a gtk3 build?
I can test this if so.
The palette buttons are not terribly important - users can re-design
them anyway, and it might be an idea to make them text only, so as to
access them from the keyboard (using the p command)...
But if this is symptomatic of some deeper malaise, that would be
different.
Let me know if I should test that mingw binary.
