Side panel does not show on Ubuntu Lucid (10.04)

[Gilles Grégoire]

I use the latest Scribes (0.4-dev-build1052) on Ubuntu Lucid.
When trying to show the side panel using F4 , I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/Trigger.py", line 40, in __activate
    idle_add(self.__get_manager().activate)
  File "/usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/Trigger.py", line 35, in __get_manager
    self.__manager = Manager(self.__editor)

glib.GError: /usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/GUI/GUI.ui: required gtk+ version 2.24, current version is 2.20

So, it appears that the gtk+ version required by the panel is too high for Lucid.

I tried changing the required version from 2.24 to 2.20:
 1/ open file /usr/lib/scribes/GenericPlugins/SidePaneFileBrowser/GUI/GUI.ui
 2/ change the line
         <requires lib="gtk+" version="2.24"/>
      to
        <requires lib="gtk+" version="2.20"/>
 3/ save the file and re-launch scribes

This seems to be enough to solve the bug: the side panel shows up and everything seems to be working fine so far!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll update the file.
