Got pointed at Seahorse. Hmmm. Less buggy than gpgp.

However, I will persist with gpgp because:

• I think the GUI can be nicer.
• It aims to provide a library interface as well as a GUI.

Looks like development is going to be a bit slower today - our hot water system seems to have died rather a lot; lots of water on the floor, all of it cold :( Just what we need 2.5 weeks before we move.

3 hours later: It's all fixed. Amazing! Hot water.

Back to hacking & packing.

Well in the rest of the day I've packed up most of my office, and got the latest version of the code base from the (nominal) maintainer. Merged in my fixes, which close all but 2 of the outstanding bugs on bugs.gnome.org.

Waiting for sourceforge to approve the project so I can set up public CVS & do an interim release.

Started looking for a nice interface to GPG. Gnu Privacy assistant looks OK, the Gnome gpgp looks OK, but buggy.

I prefer the Gnome one - start to dig into some of the bugs - eeek! Lots of them. Contact the last known maintainer; he's not doing much (too busy) and he's going to send me the code base.

I think I'll set up a sourceforge site for it, once I get the code base into some sensible form - lots of duplicated/broken code in the version I have.

On the good new front, I've managed to fix the Grave & Critical bugs from bugs.gnome.org pretty easily. Found a whole lot more bugs of similar severity, though.

malcolm's been helping me with GTK+ & gnome - I've been refreshing my memory on C (it all comes back pretty fast - I guess all those years weren't wasted).
