[glade--]Problems with an about box

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <gilbertd treblig org>]

Hi,
  (I'm not on the list, I'd appreciate a cc reply, but I will look back)
  I'm having a problem getting some code generated by glade-2/glademm
built; the compile error is:

-----------------------------------------
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/glibmm/arrayhandle.h: In constructor `
   Glib::ArrayHandle<T, Tr>::ArrayHandle(const Cont&) [with Cont =
char*, T =
   Glib::ustring, Tr =
Glib::Container_Helpers::TypeTraits<Glib::ustring>]':
about2_glade.cc:28:   instantiated from here
/usr/include/gtkmm-2.0/glibmm/arrayhandle.h:375: error: no matching

make[2]: *** [about2_glade.o] Error 1
-----------------------------------------
(Don't you just love template expansion problems....)
which seems to originate from the line in about2_glade.cc that says:

about2_glade::about2_glade(
) : Gnome::UI::About(PACKAGE, VERSION, "(c) 2003 Dr. David Alan
Gilbert", about2_authors, _("A special entry package for real world,
large scale designs  -  and everyone else."), "esch.xpm")
{  about2 = this;

To me it looks like there should be other parameters passed to the About
constructor (documentors, translators etc) that aren't there - but I'm
new to Gnome2 stuff.

This happens on the version of glademm in Debian/sid and the latest 2.0
version of glademm.

Suggestions welcome.

Dave
