Thanks, I found the problem: I assumed loading semantic-ia would load
everything needed. Once I started doing semantic-load first, it worked.

I'm still a bit confused about some things though.

I think I am misunderstanding this variable. I would like to complete on
the gtk headers, in /usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk. I have added this directory
to the project-roots variable, but I cannot complete on these symbols. In
the TOKENS menu, gtkbutton.h does not appear when editing my main program,
and conversely, main.c does not appear when editing gtkbutton.h

Basically, how do I "merge" different directories into the same project?
Or, better, perhaps simply remove the project distinction all together (i
tend to run different emacs instances for different projects anyway).

I'm assuming that'd let me complete on the gtk headers. 

You mentioned a shell script to visit all the files and put them in the
semanticdb. Is that available anywhere? If it'll be in the next release,
how soon will that be?
