I finally got GnomeBlog working. Committied a change to CVS which makes sure the poster object is initialized when we call _showPrefDialog(). The fustration of a dynamic language is that these checks are only done during runtime and only when that piece of code has been run. Since this code block only gets run once when a person ran GnomeBlog for the first time most developers would not catch it. I was lucky enough to have reinstalled my laptop awhile back and not installed GnomeBlog since so I caught it. Python really needs to be able to do static checks. I know there are tools that do this but this should be a feature of Python. Anyway pygtkspell has moved to gnome-python-extras. You can install it and GnomeBlog will see it and use it when you restart GnomeBlog.
