I really don't know what happened. I have to "rm -rf *", untar a clean
tarball, apply the patch and compile again to get it working...

I will forward it to Ales if desired, but the main purpose of the patch
was to try if what you want was possible without major modifications.
The patch doesn't implement things as you liked (with a button and a new
window).... do you like it anyway?

Which line? The only thing I noticed is that the background color of the
multiline text entry widget is clearer than the combo widget, so the
window has an strange look (well, I suppose the gtk theme we use has
something to do with this). As far as I know, I only replaced one widget
by another, and I don't know such GTK switch... :(

One more comment:

At least for me, if I enter a multiline text value, the text is
vertically justified in the attribute list. If the value has an even
number of lines, you will see half of a line and half of the next line,
so I don't like it very much. One solution is to hack a bit more, and
display always the first line and the multiline flag you mention, but I
think gschem needs a really good attribute editor...

Ales, is ABOUT-NLS file required in cvs? . When doing a cvs diff, this
file has always changed (near all of it). I suppose it's recreated when
compiling, so it's not really necessary in the CVS....

Carlos
