The version in CVS does not work at all. What Holger meant is that he's
got (in his local copy) it working. So, Holger, I think you said you
sent the code to Stephan for inclusion? If so, Stephan please commit.
And if not, please Holger send me the code and I'll commit it myself so
that Brian can test it.

you'll need a recent version of GNOME, I think the one shipped with
RH6.1 might be a bit old, but there shouldn't be any problem. But, as
soon as you find a little one, you should better upgrade to Helix GNOME
(www.helixcode.com). Apart from this, you'll need Bonobo. If you want, I
can send you RPMs for the very latest version, which I built myself.
