Yep - the reason why it doesn't work right now is that we are using a gtk.TreeStore subclass to store the accounts, and importing gtk requires there to be a DISPLAY set. But this seems to have been fixed in pygtk 2.10 (which Revelation 0.5.0 will depend on in any case), so it should be a non-issue. > Please let me know when you've got an initial start in place and need > some help! Will do, thanks! I've only just started on the basic interface, and progress might be slow as I don't have alot of spare time for hacking, and I'm trying to do it "right" this time with writing unit tests etc for everything. > > Thanks. > > Erik Grinaker wrote: > > On Sun, 2007-08-12 at 18:35 -0400, Louis-Dominique Dubeau wrote: > >> On Mon, 2007-08-06 at 12:48 +0700, Erik Grinaker wrote: > >>> Not currently, no - it's on the todo-list, but I haven't had much time > >>> to work on Revelation for the last couple of years, and it doesn't seem > >>> likely to change anytime soon :( > >> First of all, thanks for the work on revelation.
