[CM] gtk in snd?

[Kamen Nedev]

Ah, yes, the GTK interface.

I remember having trouble with it on my Ubuntu Studio install (18.04).
Ubuntu Studio had inherited *buntu's infamous "floating sidebars",
which made Snd's controls mostly unusable. It also had a color scheme
that made most things in the GUI difficult to read. Or, well, that was
the .deb package from the Ubuntu repos.

So I remember at some point I decided to compile my own version of
Snd, if anything, just to be able to keep up with all the updates I
was reading about on this list. Compiling Snd is easy, and fun.

Then, still frustrated with the GTK interface, I tried compiling Snd
with a Motif interface. Well, guess what, I finally got a
lean-and-mean, effective GUI. Never been a fan of Motif, but on Snd,
it seems to be the sensible option.

So, no, I for one won't be missing the GTK interface.

Best,

K.
