Comment 20 for bug 1876609

Hi Dmitry;

>> Do you want a stable update for Ubuntu 18.04?

Let's see. Ive now got a working version because Im running
my locally patched version. So I dont need a new stable release.

On the other hand, the current Ubuntu 18.04 version is broken,
ie it just doesnt work in the gnome-panel. So a release could be helpful for
other people.

I have some other patches as well e.g.
* The missing icon in the 'Add to Panel' menu.
* The popup window not being resized properly when mail messages
are received
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnubiff/+bug/1362074

Then there is a so far unaddressed bug, which is that the buttons on the
gnubiff preferences window do not work when the preferences window
is opened from the icon in the panel.

>> Or if you also manage to port it from GConf to GSettings,
>> I can add your patch to 20.04 and/or 20.10 releases.

OK, I'll take a look at porting to GSettings since I'd like to have this
functionality in Ubuntu 20.x. I'll need to do some reading.
Are you open to be asked questions now and then?

David
