[Shotwell] Code compile from clean Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[Adam Dingle]

Chris,

at Yorba some of us use gedit with Valencia, which is a Vala plugin 
developed here at Yorba:

http://yorba.org/valencia/

If you try Valencia, you should build it from git master since the last 
release is pretty old and is for GTK 2.  We should make a new release soon.

Others here use Geany:

http://www.geany.org/

For other possibilities, see the list "IDE Support" at 
http://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tools .  Cheers -

adam
