Joaquin, I am really glad you have had a chance to take a look at the
insert symbol dialog and make some improvements. It is clear that you have
spent some focused energy on figuring out what needed to be improved. Even
though I haven't been able to organize my time to test it, it sounds as if
enough of the roughness around the edges have been worked out.

I only have one major concern. What is our plan for keeping equivalent
functionality on Linux vs. Windows? As Shaw and I prepare for AbiWord
0.7.9 within the next week or two, I need to make sure we don't release
anything with such a huge feature mis-match. In the past, AbiWord releases
have always had the same functionality regardless of OS, and I don't want
to break this tradition. Also, on this particular dialog, I am guessing
the amount of shared code will be much less then usual.

So, before Joaquin checks this in, do we have a volunteer to do the Windows
dialog?
