I am sorry but how could they have tested with emacs? It's certainly
not the job of the toolkit developers to test new widgets with all
possible applications. It is the job of the application developers to
follow toolkit development, to try early development releases and to
give feedback. You mean you didn't do that? Because otherwise you
could have told them about the problems you see with the current API.

Anyway, it's not too late; you can still ask for a new API that works
better with the emacs use case. I am not really sure what API you
would need so it would be better if one of the emacs developers
brought this up. If you file a bug-report, please add me to the Cc:
