Comment 2 for bug 1736462

Hi Arthur,

            After attempting to install a newer version of xpad not from
the software center, and I believe in installing gtk3, I no longer have the
issue. Now the only issue I am having is that the position of the pad is
not saving in the config file, but again this is for version 4.5 on ubuntu
16.04. When I try to install the newer versions, like 4.9 and 5, the
project cannot compile because of depreciated gtk functions I believe. The
output is the following
