Re: GnomeEntry history problem

[Ali Abdin <ALIABDIN aucegypt edu>]

I disagree there - What I want is for the user to be able to /TYPE/ the 
package name if he wishes. Also - if the user wants to they can 
'drop-down' and select the package they want. But being able to type is 
of the upmost importance.

You see I was going to a GtkOptionMenu myself, but I noticed Jacob 
Berkman added a nifty feature to CVS bug-buddy. He made it so that if you 
type the application-name (i.e rp3-config) it will automatically choose 
the appropriate package for you, which I find really cool. So say you 
have a problem with ghex - it will automaitcally file the bug-report 
under gnome-utils.

So, anymore help?
