Ok. Please also test what happens if the icon is not installed on the
system, it should not display a message box or something like that.

Nice, thank you. (I'm waiting for your commit .-))

Great! .-) I thought that my small trick was not the correct way of
doing this .-) Thanks!

I think things like configure, aclocal.m4 and Makefile.in could be
removed safely...
When I was the only one to develop, it was not a problem to have these
files, but now, they get regenerated each time you do a commit because
we don't have the same version of automake (1.9.6 for you and 1.9.7 for
me).
So just go on, delete the files you think should not be there (please
also update the .cvsignore files), and if there is a problem we can
always add some of them back later.

Yes I saw thank you.

Funny .-) It seems ATI is taking example on nVidia .-) (nVidia
simplified the problem by making impossible to use their drivers with
the framebuffer driver loaded)

Ok, I'll do the work, and add a note about their incompatibility with
ATI proprietary drivers.

Thanks for all your work on this project, it is very nice.

Best regards,

Nicolas
