Hope these help in some way as I can't seem to find a page that can really show what
is needed to address the problem? :(
Hmmm. I think I'm asking the wrong
question in the wrong place :( I'd
say I'm asking a gnome developer question which I'm not so sure I can
get a straight answer here.
NP. The reason I asked was due to the lack of docs available regarding
the subject, and it looks like the gnome developers don't hang out here...
Cheers guys.
