[Bug 407339] [NEW] FTBFS because of private GtkEntry fields

[Michael Terry]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nip2

nip2 fails to build against GTK+ 2.17.x because they changed the names
of some private GtkEntry fields from n_bytes and text_size to x_n_bytes
and x_text_size.  I guess they are getting more serious about making
those private.  :)

Upstream doesn't look like they've addressed this yet.  A patch will be
needed, but it's not a trivial change.  nip2 has a subclass of GtkEntry
and they use n_bytes and text_size quite a bit.  These private fields
refer to string size in bytes, but the public API is all about number of
characters.
