[Srikanth Varadarajan <697795@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With Natty release, Gwibber seems to be one of the few default
applications not honoring the desktop font settings for its interface
fonts. The text fonts for the messages still use Desktop fonts.

Minor change, resulting in consistent desktop experience. Any voters for
this?

Title:
  Application font does not obey the selected desktop font

Status in Gwibber:
  New

Bug description:
  Gwibber 2.91.3 (and also the previous beta versions) do not obey the
  selected Desktop forn in Ubuntu 10.10 but use the document font
  instead. Please fix this, as this seems to take a very very minor
  effort to fix - as a non-coder, I (have to) use the following
  workaround in each new release, replacing "document_font_name" with
  "font_name" in gwui.py:

  $ sudo gedit /usr/share/pyshared/gwibber/gwui.py
  (find line ~241 and replace)
      default_font = self.gc.get_string("/desktop/gnome/interface/document_font_name")
  (with)
      default_font = self.gc.get_string("/desktop/gnome/interface/font_name")
