Beginner's struggle to make a real gnome application (and be an educated mantainer)

Sounds great!!

This I can answer, because I had the exact same problem. As a matter of fact, it's even in the FAQ on the gnome-standalone homepage :) Edit configure.in, the first line to:

AC_INIT(src/main.c)

or what your main file is called.

Hope it helps
