Here's a patch to add optional libstartup-notification support to The Gimp. This will allow desktop managers as Gnome's to entertain users with a *so* funny clock cursor, while Gimp launches and initializes itself.
GIMP-1.3 does this already. We will not include it in 1.2 since only bug-fixes go into 1.2.
I'm interested, from a project point of view, why many (a good proportion) of the patches that we get on this mailing list or in bugzilla from 'external' (non-CVS-account) contributors are against 1.2.x.
Are developers not very well aware of the positioning of 1.3.x (development) versus 1.2.x (stable)? Is it too hard to get a 1.3.x build to patch against?
Miguel, or anyone else, can you comment?
Identifying the cause of this weakness would help to smooth the bumps in accepting (very welcome) external contributions.
