Re: [Evolution] LDAP Address Book Fields Greyed Out?

[Mark Foster <mdf foster cc>]

Same here (no experience). This looks useful -
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

Without having looked at the source all I can reckon is that the form
fields are mostly disabled on account of the callbacks hadn't been put
in, or in otherwords the form doesn't actually work. There's a good
change the form was simply designed in glade but none of the backend
code for it was built. Can anyone verify this?
