[Straw-devel] 0.23 dependencies, last changes

[Juri Pakaste]

Hey, before we release 0.23, I guess we should figure out our
dependencies. We depend on Gtk+ 2.4/GNOME 2.6, don't we? I certainly
have edited the glade file with Glade 2.6.0, and so I believe has Jan -
a few days ago I had some trouble trying to read it with an older glade.
According to the release announcement, that means we dragged the latest
releases in as dependencies.

Now, what about pygtk? I think we don't depend on anything later than
2.2.0, right? Fixing the deprecationwarning we get from mainquit (well,
at least I do) would imply, OTOH, that we depended on 2.3.x, I believe.
That probably wouldn't be a very hot idea.

Jan: I reverted some of your visible changes, as you might have noticed,
sorry about not asking you first but my mind was pretty set about them. 

First, I consider the Subscriptions: and Articles: labels to be listbox
labels, not section headers; the HIG isn't very clear on this, but I
believe those are supposed to be not boldface and should end with a :.
So I made them so. Besides I found the boldfaced texts there rather
distracting. 

Second, I also gave the boot to the .... part of "Updating blogname ....
failed/done" messages. I disliked the .... in general - ellipsis (three
dots connected to the previous word, which there is also a unicode
character for) wouls have seemed to be the standard option for this kind
of thing - and in this case I didn't think it made very much sense
anyway. It might have been ok if we were showing progress there or
something, or at least first displayed "Updating blogname ...." and only
later showed the "done" or "failed", but we didn't. No time passes
between the first part of the message and the last, and making the
message look otherwise would be bad. There's no need for a dramatic
pause, I think, even if the polling failed :-)
