Might get hairy... I really want to know how Ximian did it for XD2...

The deal is that the functions that read .gnome/gnome-foo files are
deprecated, so we'd have to rewrite a parser just for the conversion.

*nod*. Do you know if there are "confidential" data types in gconf? I'm
thinking about passwords.

problem here... many strings now have \r\n, which gettext dislikes.

log.c, L74, for example:

    textfield_add(cd, _("*** No log is open in this window to be closed.\r\=
n"),

How can we avoid this? Wrapping around textfield_add?

Sure.

Funny messages :)

I need to port the docs. Yes, I said this thing like 10 months ago, but
the gnome-mud2 project was quite stale... I'll try to do my best to have
it done while the remaining bits are polished.

More stuff: When I maximize the terminal, gnome-mud looks quite weird,
with what appears to be a finite terminal length (with black bg), then a
white block, then the scrollbar and then another white block till the
edge of the window.

Maybe mailing the vte maintainer or bugzilla could help?

I'll see if I commit a few trivial bits I've had on my tree for ages.
