[Nautilus-list] Getting started....

[Glen Gray <glen antefacto com>]

Hi Guys,

I recently joined the list and downloaded the cvs HEAD code to have a
play around with. I'd like to get involved with helping out coding but
I'll probably want to ease into it slowly due to lack of experience and
time constraints (moving house over the coming weeks).

If there are any pointers to things I could start looking at then I'd
appreciate it.

I also spotted a couple of things while playing around with the code

1)There seems to be a code leak when opening a new nautilus window. Kind
of vague I know. I basically ran nautilus through memprof and it just
kept on allocating memory for each new window and eventually crashed.

2)Running nautilus with the -c option gave off some errors that CORBA
and Bonodo objects where left lying around. Here is the output...

Gtk-Message: YOU ARE USING THE DEVEL BRANCH 1.3.x OF GTK+ WHICH IS
CURRENTLY
                UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT AND FREQUENTLY INTRODUCES
INSTABILITIES.                if you don't know why you are getting
this, you probably want to                use the stable branch which
can be retrieved from
                ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/ or via CVS with
