Please don't get the wrong idea here, but...

First, could you please kill the HTML in your posts?  I know you're using 
gmail but that doesn't mean everybody does.  There's a reason pan doesn't 
do HTML.  Please respect that on the pan lists at least, even if you 
can't be bothered to respect no-HTML readers elsewhere.

Second, for a moment there I thought it was all an Inkscape patch! =8^( I 
was just quick-scanning and suddenly saw inkscape and not pan. )  If 
you'd have mentioned "(and inkscape)" or something similar, it would have 
prevented a bit of confusion on my part. =8^)

Now on topic...

I'm tracking this bug in four different places, here, the gnome/pan 
bugzilla, the Gentoo bugzilla, and now in the upline-referenced mail 
exchange as I test Dan's patches, and I'm losing track of what's been 
mentioned where so this may be covering old ground, but yes, that (basic) 
patch is floating around.

The problem with it is that it's glib 2.16 specific, since the newly 
named file exists in 2.16 but not earlier versions.  Just replacing the 
same references with glib.h is a bit more "proper", and cures the problem 
for 2.14 and 2.16, but it's not backward compatible beyond 2.14, breaking 
2.12 and earlier, and ideally we want to keep that compatibility if 
possible.  Tracing the remaining problems with the still broken broad 
compatibility version is what's taking the time.

That said, thanks.  One more discussion of the glib breakage to add to 
the list.
