Re: Questions (keyboard accels, drag/drop, translation)

Hi,

You really want to mail gnome-devel-list with questions on using the
libraries - this list is for discussion of developing desktop bits
(panel, nautilus, etc.)

What you do is connect a handler to the popup_menu signal on the
widget with the popup (look at GtkTextView, GtkEntry for
examples). The popup_menu signal is automatically emitted in response
to the standard popup menu shortcut, which is Shift+F10.

Not offhand.

You use "intltool" for this - look at other gnome apps for examples of
setting up the Makefile and so on.
