- gdapi.cmd
- Bug 1195421 fixed:
"jgd.JGDError: Error executing desktop query: Unexpected element {}:from"
Results XML syntax is into gdsdk.xsd schema. This schema is
not provided by google, but it is extracted from GDS
developer guide (http://desktop.google.com/developerguide.html)

Problem: The order of 'from' tag is wrong into GDS developer
guide.
