Tom,

I tried cloning and branching to tom-eeschema-gal to do some testing and
found it was so far behind master that it was still downloading and
building boost by default (stable 4 build stuff).  I don't see any sane
way to merge with master unless I use the wrong branch.  Is this branch
really what you are going to merge a part of the gtk3 fix?

Cheers,

Wayne
