Re: Read only attribute

[nadim khemir <nadim khemir net>]

Nice to know other got the problem too; it makes me feel less lonely. I hope 
glib gets what you need soon.

Hans, do you want small stuff to be discussed in the mailling list first or to 
be reported as "bug" directly? an example, when moving connector ends, the 
standard icon is a 4 way arrow which obscures completely the connector making 
the whole procedure a pain. is that to be discussed here or reported?

Cheers, Nadim.

PS: I'm quite happy to not have to implement another Dia just to make ASCII 
diagrams. Thanks for Dia.
