Thank you Simon. I had been hoping glib-compile-resources could provide a shorter way than going through the whole compiling process. Now I wonder what is the interest of extracting resource files through gresource, except maybe not having to download the whole source?
Anyway, I'll go the longer way and recompile. By the way, Gnome is great. B.
