Basic GUI man-page browser - gtk2 version

8-03-2026

This is the first alpha version porting VuuMan to gtk2/gtk2-ng, tested in both, and is even faster in operation than the gtk3 version, and includes some functionality I excluded from the gtk3 version due to quirks in gtk3. Not quite as pretty but it works even better. This is just the main script, if you don't have the gtk3 version already installed you won't get the proper window-icon when you run it, you'll probably just get a generic or the generic yad icon (green beaker), but that doesn't hurt anything. Mainly wanting people to test that are using a gtk2 version of yad, I just have the gtk3 version and it runs fine with it, and should be the same with a gtk2 version. (Running version 0.40.0 from Daedalus/Bookworm here)
