Bob,

Follow the above instructions - its painless.

1. the export command
2. the cvs login command with carraige-return or enter for a password
3. the cvs checkout command to actually copy the files to your current
directory
4. done - change directory to ./libegg/libegg/tray/ to see the files.

Note with minor adjustments I use the files as-is.

Design note: notification area icons work a little differently on other
none-gnome platforms.  If you need three icons for your app, create
three whole icons.  Don't do like I did - I created a single vbox and
packed three icons into it.  Worked fine on gnome, got truncated to one
icon worth of space/size on xfce, darwin, and kde.

James,
