[Screem-devel] Anyone interested in trying out a few bug fixes

[Jim H. <jim...@li...>]

Hi All,

I finally managed to get a chance to fix a few more bugs in the screem
code in CVS. If anyone is interested in trying the changes let me know.

A few of the changes...

Port the code to GtkSourceView2. This is not yet complete. You currently
cannot edit the default highlighting colors in preferences. Printing is
also disabled. The current code uses libgnomeprint. This still needs to
be ported to the Gtk print API.

The completely outdated internal GDL code is no longer used. The code
now compiles against the system installed libgdl. One note, GDL is
broken with Gtk 2.18 client-side windows. I filed an upstream bug report
with the GDL developers. You can work around the problem by starting
screem with..
env GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 path/to/screem

Minor clean up to the glade files. These are going to have to be ported
to GtkBuilder at some point.

Some minor cleanups to allow the current CVS code to work at all with
Gtk 2.18. Most of the other changes at this time are just minor code
cleanups and fix a few segfaults.

The "document tree" is in pretty bad shape. It is totally broken for CSS
files. The tree is disabled for CSS files right now. I causes all kinds
of interesting segfaults. Closing the tree view and not using it at all
is recommended.

It is going to take a lot of work to get the code into a more modern
state.
