[gnome-love] Intrested in hacking gnome and doing gtop tree view

[Heeten <azari geo yahoo com>]

Hey, I'm intrested in hacking gnome and being able to
contribute to the gnome project.  I have some
experience with gtk+ and glib, but not a whole lot
(I've made a few basic programs for work using them)
Anyway, I was thinking of starting out by tackling
adding the tree view to gtop, and had a few questions.

1.  Should there be a button or something you push to
get a tree view?  The thing is, is I know I myself
like to sort the list a lot by the % of mem being used
by programs, if you had it in a process hierarchy then
the sorting stuff would have to work differently
because it's in a tree.  If you have two modes though,
you can use it look at it as a tree and as a regular
list.

2.  I was thinking CTree is the widget I'd use to do
this.

3.  I couldn't figure out how to compile from cvs, I
tried running autogen.sh, but it needed the fild
gnome-autogen(.sh I think).  This is prolly the
biggest thing, since I sortof need to be able to
compile it to test stuff out.  I know this is prolly a
stupid question, but like I said, I don't know much
;-)

Thanks for any help,
Heeten
