 Against the 0.3 source download. I don't know if you have a FreeBSD box at 
 your hands but the PR is at 
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/63282
 
 The patches can be derived from there or once/if the port gets comitted or 
 from me if you like.
 
 It seems to work OK on FreeBSD-5.2-RELEASE and 5.2-CURRENT, I don't have 
 many GTK apps installed as I use maily KDE; tried it on gimp-1.3 and that 
 worked and tried on a wx-python/wx-gtk2 app of my own (the "OK" button looks 
 weird or has no image/text at all, most widgets seem OK, some, like 
 textfields lack the frame border when looked at with one of the Plastik 
 themes). Gimp may hang, but I doubt it's because of the engine (FreeBSD 
 recently changed pthread libs and I think that's the cause here).  Of course 
 it requires some testing on other FreeBSD versions to see if it works at all 
 there.
 
 It was a simple port. I submitted it to ports at freebsd without requesting 
 maintainership myself. This is better off with the overall KDE or Gnome 
 port/package team IMHO. If it gets into the tree I'm sure people will try it 
 and complain if it doesn't work. 
 
 Thanks for your software! Would appreciate a headsup if the major version 
 changes. I'll be happy to provide more feedback if you desire so.
 
 Best regards,
 
 Dan
