Incomplete Documentation and examples
OK, is it lazyness?
Lack of knowledge?
A cruel streak?
I am finding lately that developers and those who
write tutorials, example code and books, do a very
poor job of complete examples.
Why?
For example: I am working on a project in which
I am trying to use GtkIconFactory, not bad in and
of itself, but the sample code I have seen takes
you to the point where you can get the menubar
visible, but no one (and I mean NO ONE) who
writes example code either on the net, or in books,
shows you how to actually take it to the next step
and make those really pretty buttons you just
created actually do something, at least without
segfaulting....
Bah
