Gtk2-Perl 2.7.3

Gtk2-Perl is the collective name for a set of Perl bindings for GTK+ 2.x and various related libraries. These modules make it easy to write GTK+ and GNOME applications using a natural, Perlish, object-oriented syntax.

This is Gtk2-Perl 2.7.3 'Are we the only ones sticking to the schedule?'.

libxklavier 1.03

Hi all

One of the dependencies of the GNOME, the libxklavier library, got another release - 1.03.

This is bugfix release, addressing several big and small issues detected by people using the Keyboard Indicator applet in gnome-applets. This release is absolutely API/ABI compatible with the previous one.

As usual, the download can be performed from the SourceForge site:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=319&package_id=49313&release_id=248739

All bugs are usually (traditionally:) reported to gnome bugzilla, the libgswitchit component of the gnome-applets module. Hopefully soon I'll own libxklavier module in freedesktop.org's bugzilla.

Regards,

Sergey
