Bug Description

-- Lucid SRU report follows --

Impact: A common and visible part of GIMP's UI has disappeared due to Lucid's switch to gtk 2.19. This will cause confusion for new GIMP users (the UI won't match tutorials) as well as existing users.

The bug has been fixed upstream, with new code for the gtk 2.19 case.

Patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/45887889/gimp_2.6.8-2ubuntu1.1.debdiff

To reproduce: open any image and look at the bottom of the image window. If there's nothing there, you're seeing the bug. There should be a units menu (e.g. px), a zoom menu (e.g. 100%) and the regular progress area (probably showing the name of the current layer). See http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/images/using/imagewindow-description.png

Regression potential: should be low risk, since the code has been in the gimp trunk for a few weeks, and the alternative is the current broken status bar.

====================
Binary package hint: gimp

Gimp has lost his Progressbar within the Statusfield that showed the progress of filters or saving files. This is extremly nasty, the reasons are obvious.

Ok, then. The Guys from Gnome are thinking it's Ubuntu-related ans I should report this against Ubuntu. So, what to do now?

Also, I've uploaded a Video in the Gnome Report that is showing the Problem in "action".

I ran some tests. First, with Karmic Koala Live-CD and Gimp 2.6.7. I've attached a screenshot. I noticed that Gimp in Lucid has not only lost his Progressbar in the Statusbar but also the two Dropdownfields. Have look on the attached Karmic-Screenshot and you will see.

And the very same Image, here with Lucid and Gimp 2.6.8. As you can see, dropdownfields are gone.

Seems to be fixed upstream. From https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612956:

Backported Mitch's fix from master to gimp-2-6:

    backport statusbar code needed for GTK+ >= 2.19.1

    Use the hbox that is provided via gtk_statusbar_get_message_area()
    since GTK+ 2.19.1.

Could this patch be applied against the Ubuntu package? That will be great!

I've generated a debdiff for the developers review so they can patch the Ubuntu package with it. I've tested it and it's working. I have also uploaded the patched version to my ppa for those who don't wish to wait :) My ppa is at: ppa:gastly/gastly-main

May the Bhaskar's debdiff be applied to the official Ubuntu gimp packages before Lucid release?

I've subscribed the Ubuntu Sponsors team, maybe they will look into it and update the package.

Anybody willing (and able) to raise the importance of this bug? I really miss the zoom and length unit widgets.
