(Get the code!)
No worries... glad it's working again! I guess the bigger concern will be about what happens when the upstream GDL developers accept our changes. I suppose the "nicest" thing we could do for users would be to keep our fork, and check for availability of external GDL. If a suitable version is available, build against it. If not, use our fork. Eventually, when all recent distros support a suitable version (>1 year later), kill our fork.
The other, "cleaner" option would be to kill our fork immediately, and use whichever upstream GDL version is available. There has only been one real incompatible API change in our fork (pixbuf icons), and we can easily do a conditional build. However, distros with old GDL versions will have to put up with a few annoying UI issues (no focus in docked dialogs etc).
