hmm, this worked before, but it does not seem to work neither on my
copy. I'll have a look shortly.
I'm right now adding a new bug at bugzilla.gnome.org so that it does not
get forgotten.

yes, this does not work since we switched from gnome_config to GConf.
This is because there is not
a clear way of having "global" stuff in GConf. So, for the moment, it is
only possible to store
local configuration, whereas before, with gnome_config, it was possible
to have both. That's why
the "Global" check button is still on the configuration widget. I'll
also post a bug into bugzilla about
this.

Thanks for the report

> Overall the architecture of gnomedb looks fascinating,  and I'm very interested in getting it running enough to try gasql and gnumeric.  I am preparing a technical presentation on data access with Linux that currently includes gnome-db and unixODBC.  As an administrator of IMAP, LDAP, PostgreSQL, and Informix servers hosted on Linux it seems that now that all those great data sources are available, we need some really slick way to get at their content.  You guys may have the winning card.

wow, that's great! If you need more info for your presentation, just ask us.
