Have you tried installing my changes-page branch of bzr-gtk? It does
provide the changes directly in the notebook, just in another page (tab)
instead of in the general page.

To install:

  mkdir -p .bazaar/plugins && cd .bazaar/plugins && bzr branch
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dasch/bzr-gtk/changes-page gtk


Cheers,
Daniel
