It has incorrectly centered labels, which is a bad default in GTK [15:02] mpt: i'm about to leave for a while, if you are interested in screenshots of the new session dialog, i can provide some this evening [15:02] yes, gtk [15:03] thorwil, that would be good, thanks, if it's actually multiple steps (the distinction between an assistant and just a dialog) [15:04] i mean to recall it really is several steps, but i tend to take measure to not bring it up :) [18:47] mpt: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/485382/ardour-3_startup.tar.bz2 [18:49] when i said "acceptable" earlier, i meant the use of an assistant at all. making the screenshots reminded me of the boatload of issues this one has
