Hello, Kelvin. Thanks for providing these fixes for the GTK2 patch. If
I'm not mistaken, the upstream of GBuffy is not really active any more,
so I think if somebody feels up to maintaining it as upstream, they
should go for it. Is this something any of you would be interested in?
Personally, I don't use GBuffy anymore myself, so I also need to find
another person to become its Debian maintainer.
Thanks!
