Well, I have figured out many problems as to why it is incomparable with any version higher than 10.04.
The main problem is that Quickshot is written in Python running on GTK+ 2. All of the code MUST be updated to the newest versions of PyGK and GTK+ 3. I, unfortunately, do not know how to go about this problem. I wish I did. The only thing I can actually do without a problem is the GUI editing. As Patrick said earlier, maybe we could get Neil to help us get Quickshot running again. I am very limited to what I can do for it. I'm still poking around for complete information on porting the code to GTK+ 3. Thanks!
