Just running gattrib with any schematic.

By the way, I have very good news!!

I got gattrib working for the first time!!. 

After some googling, I realized that the "default_border" and
"default_outside_border" properties are used with gtkrc and GTK themes.
So.... I just changed my desktop theme to another less complex and I run
gattrib: it worked without problems!!. 
Then I went back to my current theme, and gattrib failed.... no need to
recompile.

My current theme (the one making gattrib fail) is a based on the nuvola
theme, with the following selections:
	- Controls: Nuvola theme.
	- Windows border: Nuvola-old.
	- Icons: nuvola.
Just changing Controls setting to a simpler theme makes gattrib begin
working.

GTK expects these properties when using some themes, so I guess that if
these properties are added to gtksheet, it won't fail.... 

They are declared as:
static GtkBorder default_default_border = { 1, 1, 1, 1 };  
static GtkBorder default_default_outside_border = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };

(See an example at:
http://www.dragoninc.on.ca/mail-archives/gtk-devel/2001-11/0484.html )

However I didn't find any documentation about them at gtk website... :(

Cheers,

Carlos

P.S.: Dan, I sent an email for a few times to your private address, but it didn't reach you. 
Thanks for reporting the bug about deprecated guile functions. I made the patch a while ago, 
before those functions where removed and I didn't noticed it when I was preparing it for the 
CVS version. Thanks!!
