[Gtk-sharp-list] Gtk.Spinner doesn't spin (Gtk# 2.99.2)

[Stephen Brandt]

Hi Bertrand,

I've found the cause. I had GTK animations disabled [1], which is 
apparently also applicable to the spin animation. After re-enabling 
animations the spinner works fine.

The reason I had disabled GTK animations is that on GTK+ 3.10 the 
InfoBar wasn't visible if shown directly on startup and if animations 
were enabled. On GTK+ 3.8 instead, it does work okay with animations 
enabled. So most likely a regression in GTK+ itself i presume?

If you want to try and run the code [2] make sure you install the 
gschema file [3], to satisfy gsettings...
