Re: gnome developer docs - not sgml

Yep.  Everything does pretty much eventually work, however.  I gave up on  
all the stuff that required libgtop.  I'm really kinda surprised it doesn't  
have drop-in support for existing "top" modules, but I guess I can understand  
it.  Several other little things like the mouse capplet don't work--and the  
properties stuff gives a whole slew of errors about unsupported xset options.  
 Now, I'm not using the latest X11R6, I'm just using the  
out-of-the-box-but-patched-to-last-march Solaris 2.5.1 :)

Anyway, pretty cool stuff though.
