How to apply patch for abiword flickering

I have encountered the flickering problem of abiword. Wiki does not really say anything. I don't like abiword-gtk2 oldish design so I would like to fix the installed package. This patch seems to be a solution for somebody, but there are no instructions of what package to actually build. Building of abiword-git does not seem to be working. How can I apply the patch?

Re: How to apply patch for abiword flickering

Download the patch and the abiword package sources (by hand or eg. using asp), move into the directory w/ the PKGBUILD and run "patch < /path/to/abiword-fix-flickering-v2.diff"
Then build the package.

Also please edit your post and adjust the subject, your question has actually nothing to do w/ abiword.

Building of abiword-git does not seem to be working.

It builds normally and it's working.
