Hi John,

I'm just correcting your statement regarding gtk2 and gtk3 support in
SLE12:
- gtk2 is still supported on SLE12. Some important applications like
Firefox and Libreoffice have not been ported to GTK3.
- gtkmm2 (C++ binding for gtk2) is indeed no longer supported on SLES12,
only on SLED12 and SLE-WE.
