thanks alot for all the clarifications! i'll see if i can shove everything together to make things work with the least installation effort. grettings, Martin _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
