Funny. PNG should be better...

Useless, as the archive naming isn't guaranteed at all.

Thanks for the description, I'll merge it :)

The changes to d4x are so minimal that there's no need to use dpatch
to manage them. Maxim provides a really good code already, and the
changes that are needed today are only related to GTK 2.6, so they'll
go away with the next release.

If I had a couple of important patches to manage, I'd use dpatch for
sure, just as I do for some other packages. CDBS isn't an option, for
a variety of reasons (it basically boils down to "CDBS sucks").

Thanks for the work. I think I saw a couple of packages maintained by
you already, so if you're willing to become a co-maintainer for the
package, don't hesitate. I'll sponsor if needed (couldn't find you in
db.d.o). As I'm not using any desktop environment right now, I
sometimes miss new things in this area, so your help is appreciated
here :)

I don't know if I'm going to do another revision of the package before
Sarge, but as Maxim should have released a new version a month ago
already, I guess I'm in for a new revision incorporating your changes.

JB.
