Oops! I tripped up on the Mozilla Composer window's habit of putting 
"file://..." in if you're not careful. The images hopefully now work. 
Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm in the same boat. I don't actually understand much more than I've 
put on the Web. I intend to expand the site as I figure things out. I'm 
hoping it develops inot a "collaborative" type thing where a really 
useful online manual gradually takes shape. My gripe with tutorials is 
they come in two types: covering square one over and over, or leaping 
way over the head of novices. So by writing the tutorial as I learn and 
working through all the methods of all the widgets, starting with 
GnomeLess, I hope this will grow into a really useful cookbook.

I've looked at those documents, but probably not as closely as I should 
have. Like most people, I can't really grasp answers until I've butted 
my head against the question enough.

Thanks for the e-mail
