subsurface newcomer

[Tomaz Canabrava]

Hei Danilo,
Thanks for the patches.

Subsurface is currently going a *severe* port from GTK code to Qt, and I'm
the one to blame on many many bugs yet to find, since I did almost 90% of
the conversion ( and you send patches. *HUG* ).

Thanks - I was fixing a lot of other small stuff and I completely forgot
about this one.

It's still in heavy development. I planned to send a complete version this
week, I'll run to have it fixed by tomorrow - or saturday.

As I said, master is in constant development to replace GTK for Qt ( if you
already send patches, I may ask a bit of help to continue sending them? :D
), if you wanna a more stable version, try 3.1.1 launched a few weeks ago,
it's in GTK and it's the last stable version of Subsurface.
If you like to be on the bleeding edge and help me sort some stuff out,
Welcome. :D
