fancy-viewer.c patch

The latest version of 'claws-mail-fancy' does not work in the presence of net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.6.1-r200, because the function 'webkit_web_view_get_selected_text' has been retired. There's also a GTK issue, in that it can not build against 3.0 because the GtkAdjustment "object" has its properties hidden. So instead of directly accessing the 'value' property, one should use gtk_adjustment_set_value().

Starting from this [1] I have created the attached patch in the hope that is of some use to someone. Unfortunately, the patch is not picked up when placed in /etc/portage/patches/mail-client/claws-mail-fancy-0.9.14, so you will have to alter the dist file and update the ebuild manifest by hand.

patched claws-mail-fancy-0.9.14.ebuild

Your patch is working for me on amd64, many thx for that.
I made some related very minor changes to the fancy ebuild, maybe it helps someone.
Copy the patch to the files dir, within the ebuild dir.

This will not work for stable users I suppose.  As this claws-mail-fancy version will go stable soon I do not want to break it yet.

Please report it upstream, if you do not want to open an account on their Bugzilla, I can do the report as well...just let me know.

I will open a bug on their bugzilla too. In the mean time, here's a second patch that fixes a crash which was occurring when one used 'reply all' on an HTML mail.

Thanks,

I still have this problem in 0.9.14.  Did you actually mean 0.9.15?

 It is available in claws-mail-fance-0.9.15, which is in testing.  Stabilisation will take place soon together with Claws Mail 3.8.0.

Hmm, what's your definition of "soon"?

 Standard stabilisation requirements.  30 days bug-free.  But as 3.8.0 is some kind of major release, I tend to wait a bit longer...especially as upstream CVS has a constant stream of commits for bug fixes.
