Re: style combo (gtk)

Hi Tomas,

I'm hesitant to call this a "feature" - it's more akin
to polishing an existing feature, and it's this kind
of polish that a release needs in order to shine.

Yes, there are a lot of bugs in bugzilla, and we need
to fix those too. But we need to polish our existing
features, and this sort of patch does exactly that.

Best,
Dom
