Fine. Please drop me a line when you have finished your changes in lib/gda-server (and possibly
in idl, too).
Not sure what you then leave for me. What else should be done on this topic?

Ok. Will change gda-init.c and leave gda-server-init.c to you.

Actually I would propose to leave gtk open as an option, because not everybody wants to install
glib 1.3; we should possibly remove gtk completely not earlier as glib 2.0 is widely available.

I'm happy that I can advance this project :)
