Fine. :)

I am happy to be a contact.

You might want to point users at
http://muse.19inch.net/~daf/gnome-cy/sefydlu.shtml for installation
instructions. It's not quite complete, and it's not completely bilingual
in the bits where it is complete, but it's nearly there. I am away for
today and some of tomorrow; I am going to make finishing this a priority
on Sunday. Thanks a lot to Bryn S. for trying the Welsh GNOME stuff out
on RedHat, Mandrake and SuSE!

Got to run.
