Bug Description
Binary package hint: nip2
nip2 fails to build against GTK+ 2.17.x because they changed the names of some private GtkEntry fields from n_bytes and text_size to x_n_bytes and x_text_size. I guess they are getting more serious about making those private. :)
Upstream doesn't look like they've addressed this yet. A patch will be needed, but it's not a trivial change. nip2 has a subclass of GtkEntry and they use n_bytes and text_size quite a bit. These private fields refer to string size in bytes, but the public API is all about number of characters.

Hi, I'm the upstream maintainer. We've just fixed this in SVN head, so the next stable version should work with gtk+ 2.17+. This new version ought to be done in time for 10.04, hopefully.
