I'm not sure about the source way of building, but for packaging, 
it's actually ${datadir}/oaf
and it works, 
I also had alot of fun coaxing glade to compile, and under RH7 at least,
the glade folks need to point to some different include dirs, at the
moment they just point glade at the /usr/include and not
/usr/include/gnome-db and /usr/include/gda, oh well, I got it to work
and I will (finally) start playing with this version to write the users
guide, you mentioned the GDA command line tools as well, Rodrigo, do you
have a list of names so I can at least create a page for each one now
that we can fill in once they are finished.
thanks
