Hi, thanks for testing f-spot.  Every bit helps.  I'm probably won't
have time this weekend to look closely at these bugs, but I'll see
what I can do.  If not probably next week.

As for building from git, there are several packages that are needed,
and the configure stuff needs to be updated.  When I tested this on my
ubuntu 12.04 VM I was able to build it with just what was in the
ubuntu repositories.

I didn't do anything with debian packages, so I'm not sure why its not
there.  I've changed enough though, that I recommend only working with
git master.  I'd like to get some more testing in on that and slowly
get it ready for at least a tag if not a release also.

If you are on irc (sshaw), I can probably help you get through the git
master build faster than over email.  I'll leave that up to you.

Thanks!
