The fork retains the same bug as the original and will therefore FTBFS.

See #549758

http://github.com/vhernandez/gtksheet/blob/master/gtksheet/gtkitementry.c#L735
if (new_text_length + entry->n_bytes + 1 > entry->text_size)

n_bytes is a private part of GtkEntry and gtksheet never had any right
to expect to be able to access it.

I don't have a login for github.com, please forward this issue upstream
BEFORE packaging the library.

Mind you, it's positive news that someone is working on GtkSheet.

CC'ing the libgtkada2 maintainer because the pending removal of
GtkSheet affects his package and he may be interested in a new upstream
fork.
