[Glade-users] Gnome help sytem and libglade

[genaud icps u-strasbg fr (Stephane Genaud)]

Hi,

i have written a gnome application thanks to galde and 
libglade.
Now, i am writting the documentation, but i can't access
the doc html pages from the "Help" menu.

As i understand it (from http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD), 
it is sufficient to generate some HTML files from a SGML file,
and put them in /usr/share/gnome/help/<myapp>/C + a topic.dat
file whose contents should appear in the Help menu of the application.

So, i guess Gnome-libs look into this directory before pulling-down
the menu and displays the Manual help item.

However, it does not seem to work with my application. 
could it be because i am using libglade ?

By the way, in glade, in the project preferences panel, there is  
a checkbox saying "Enable Gnome help" when you are in the C code
options,
but nothing for libglade options.

I did use the Gnome application model to design the GUI
and the Help menu part looks like :

<widget>
        <class>GtkMenuItem</class>
        <name>help1</name>
        <stock_item>GNOMEUIINFO_MENU_HELP_TREE</stock_item>
        <widget>
          <class>GtkMenu</class>
          <name>help1_menu</name>

          <widget>
            <class>GtkPixmapMenuItem</class>
            <name>about1</name>
            <signal>
            <name>activate</name>
            <handler>on_about_app_activate</handler>
            </signal>
[....]

Am i missing a call to gnome libs to initialize the help system ?

thanks.
