I've started implementing this[1] with a little help from the gedit
source. Unfortunately the info bar widget that I've used was introduced
in GTK 2.18 and PCB currently depends on GTK 2.12. Is there any argument
against upping PCBs GTK version dependency to 2.18? It was released
almost two years ago now (23rd Sept 2009).

I'm also planning on implementing the same behavior in gschem which
currently depends on GTK 2.10. Any arguments to upping this to 2.18 too?

Thanks,
Rich
