gThumb 2.13.2 is now available in both the main WebUpd8 PPA and the gThumb PPA (use this PPA if you only want gThumb and don't want to upgrade the other packages in the main WebUpd8 PPA too) for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.

Unfortunately, starting with this release, it's no longer possible to build gThumb for older Ubuntu versions because gThumb now depends on GTK+ 2.24 which is only available in Natty+.

I've added 2 more patches (now 4) from Fedora to the PulseAudio Equalizer package which should fix running it for some users (apparently it worked for most people but failed to start for some). Hopefully now it works for everybody.

Also, if you want to install PulseAudio Equalizer without the patch that disables preamp (this patch is required for fixing a max sound bug), you can download this .deb. If you want the package with all the patches, simply use the WebUpd8 main PPA.
