    Hi Joaquin,
               Maybe this patch should be committed to both GTK2 and HEAD
    first. The idea is that we'll want this code for version 2 or whatever we
    call the next stable release of abiword anyway and you'll get more
    eyeballs and testers for your patch.

    If we're all happy it could be backported to 1.0.*.

    I am comcerned though that it breaks some of the assumptions about the
    1.0.X series. One advantage of not adding this to that series is that the
    1.0.x has an excellent gtk-only build that is very widely useful to a
    large number of uncies. You don't need the great new stuff being developed
    for XFree to run it. So AbiWord 1.0.X can be run on any Unix with a half
    decent X11 server.

    Is there any reason this should not be committed to HEAD Real Soon Now?

    Cheers

    Martin
