Re: style combo (gtk)

Hi Robert (and everyone else),

I like the look of it, but I think it needs to list all the styles;
otherwise the user will need to know which styles it shows and which it
does not.

I am, however, concerned about new features being committed at this
stage. I appreciate that bug fixing is boring and new features are
exciting, but there is more to making useful software than hacking away,
and unless an agreed release cycle is respected by all, all disolves
into chaos as happened with the 2.2 cycle. That is bad for the developer
morale as well as for our users, and it also results in spiraling our of
control of the bugzilla count; either way AbiWord as project looses.

The agreed date for tagging the 2.4 tree was Jun 17, which is less than
6 weeks away. I would much appreciate if folk would apply their efforts
to the bugzilla till we get 2.4 out. As far as I know there are some 70
bugs that should be fixed by then, and I think it is achievable,
providing everyone will apply some self-discipline.
