I haven't tried applying it myself, but can do. I've been working on a
version which uses dbus, and requires a far cleaner patch to PCB. There
is yet work to be done to both the PCB patch and xgsch2pcb to marry them
up, but should eventually give a far better integration between the two.

I'll just need to recompile PCB. Won't take too long.

I tagged the last code in CVS before preparing for the D-Bus stuff as
V1_0. What I could do is to split off a branch, and apply Peter B's
patch to that, so that any changes people contribute to the GUI can
apply back in CVS against the version they have been trying. Any
improvements can then be merged with the HEAD branch (soon to have
DBUS), when the DBUS system replaces the stdin/stdout version.

Could I ask for advice on what name the branch ought to have.. V1_X or
something?, leaving the V1_0 tag at where the branch split out? Is
branching a good idea?
