Re: install improvement and gtk+ 2.12-2.16 question

[Toms <toms baugis gmail com>]

thanks for the suggestion, fixed the blog. the reported error though i
think is because of wonders of debian, but i might be wrong.

we are moving to gtk 2.16 as it amongst many other things, supports
attributes for text fields that makes life much easier and less error
prone for the translators.


Regards,
Toms
