I'm glad to hear this, since it means we've done a great work, at least
on cleaning up the headers :-)

in fact, one of the next things to do is to completely remove the
CORBA_ORB parameter in the call to gda_connection_new

very nice to see that, although there are some differences, both APIs
seem to map well (in terms of functionality, I mean). anyway, you are
right in what you say about the grid widget. It would be a good thing to
extend the GnomeDbGrid in such a way that it allows data coming from
different places. I'll add a bug to bugzilla about this.

yes, I also think your CVS account will still be available, so, please, add the
examples yourself. The best place to put them would be a new directory
in gnome-db/test, where your old sample programs should have been moved
some time ago, when we did the separation
