Aneesh, I'm trying to incorporate your GTK3 update to View Slides and release the result on ASLO. The problem I'm still having is that I cannot page through the images using the keyboard as I used to. What I did in the past was to nest the image control in an event box and make the event box able to accept the focus. Then the user clicks on the image with the mouse to set the focus and at that point the event box receives key press events. When you upgraded View Slides to use GTK3 you removed the code to make the event box focusable. I have tried to replace the missing line of code with what seems to be the GTK3 equivalent but it isn't working. I've done a lot of google searches trying to figure out the problem and I'm not getting anywhere. I cannot release View Slides as it is. It really needs to be able to navigate through the images with the keyboard to be usable. I'm hoping you might have some thoughts or maybe an idea of how to do the keyboard paging a different way.
