This is now fixed, with one caveat..

There is a bug in gtk / gdk-pixbuf-loaders which prevents a jpeg being
loaded in our embedded mode if its > 65536 bytes. I could write a
workaround (looping over the data in chunks < 65536 bytes long to give
gdk_pixbuf_loader_write) or we could ignore it as not being our bug.


There aren't any issues remaining which I think should block a 1.3.0
release for testing, however a list (off the top of my head) which ought
to be fixed for 1.3.x, or 1.4.0:

* The pinseq / slot= / pinnumber bug, trying not to break spice-sdb if 
  possible. Perhaps we can take an easy fix for the release, and work 
  on a more proper fix in 1.5.x

* Can we get rid of the Apply button in the component selector? This 
  requires ensuring the active component de-selects in circumstances
  where you might have previously had to press "Apply". Re-selecting
  the component provides a neater way to resume placement.

  See patches at:
http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf/pcjc2.git?a=shortlog;h=compselect_no_apply

  (Probably doesn't catch all the necessary state-changes where we'd 
   need to de-select the list, but it does show the idea).

* Would like to see a nicer set of app icons committed (than the ones I 
  drew). Tomaz's look promising, but need a gattrib, and possibly more
  intermediate sizes / tweaking.

* Man page versions out of date (bug 1556064)
