At the risk of feeding an anonymous sensitive soul who bothers to post that he is not reading and then apologizes for not reading, which is entirely off topic, presumably because (s)he believes all decisions made upstream should be graciously accepted without comment or questioning.

If it's not indifference then tell me why it isn't indifference. Better yet, forget that and look at the question instead of pouting.

Whatever you call that style of asking for help (dramatic editorializing?), on a technical forum, for me, its a unincentive

You mean having and expressing an opinion about the lack of documentation with examples? I only ever say anything like that if I can't find an explanatory solution after substantial googling. Of course, I must be the first to ever complain about this LoL :=), especially after a default feature change globally that breaks existing programs :=)

Since it creates distractions, I will try in future to maintain a professional Spock-like impassivity here which reveals none of my actual personality or opinions or frustrations in re-visiting gtk2-perl, since these are apparently of no value and are best directed upstream, at the Gtk+ project in this case. As we all know Real Coders don't have any opinions about sacred APIs and venerate decisions made in upstream projects in awe and silence.
