GTG can't find gtk.Spinner() when opening the backend config

[Florian Zeitz]

I get the following traceback when trying to open the backend configuration dialog:
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is running on an up to date Archlinux using the process described in http://allievi.sssup.it/techblog/?p=569

Eheh, that's why I ask for testers: who knew that gtk has no spinner in archlinux (and why..).
Anyway, it should be fixed now. Could you confirm that?

To update the version of gtg you downloaded, go in the gtg_backends directory and execute "bzr pull"
restart gtg with ./script/debug.sh -d (I don't know your skill level, so I go step by step :) ).

Thanks for testing!

[Florian Zeitz (florian-zeitz)]

Fixed.
As a side note. It's not that supprising at all:
gtk.Spinner has been added to PyGtk git 2010-07-09
It's only been in the 2.21 release that occured 17 days ago AFAICT (which doesn't even have an announcement on the project homepage (yet?) :/).
So this is very likely to affect most if not all distributions.

Thanks. Mh, probably I've installed from source then :) nevermind.
