RSH

The second "script" to which you refer is not a script but a patch for C code. It is applied to the C source code with the "patch" program then the source code needs to be compiled.

Interesting jemimah, I might try it.

While you're patching glib, you might as well appy this patch too.

This makes mounted drives show up in file open dialogs.

Well it works! Abiword help, partial gnumeric help and partial homebank. I'm about to recompile homebank-4.4 so I'll see if I can hack away at the source and get it working. EDIT- yep, got it working in Homebank.

Thanks

BTW, the patch I modded for Slacko, it has a slightly older glib..

Comment faire que l'aide s'ouvre dans seamonkey ? fonctionne avec Firefox. (fr Help translator)
I am using seamonkey, I try to make help work.
