Hi all,

I have uploaded the code I'm working on to github. Take a look at:

http://github.com/vhernandez/gtksheet/tree/master

you can download the code with:
$ git clone git://github.com/vhernandez/gtksheet.git

I have fixed some bugs when setting background/foreground cell colors , and
a memory leak when setting font attributes. I also have changed some
deprecated function calls, updating to new glib/gtk APIs.

Finally, there is a working experimental python bindings in the pygtksheet
subdir. I will make a new github repository for this bindings once I have
added properties to gtksheet and gtkitementry.

I expect an initial release this week or next.

If you want to merge my changes back to gtkextra it shouldn't be too
complicated.

Cheers,

Victor
