Hi,
unfortunately I had no time for dvdxul these days and next week will
be short ( --> RMLL : http://2005.rencontresmondiales.org/sections )
I trust you'll find the good solutions for the dbxpcom problems.
Concerning skin and locale, I'll try to figure out how they handle it
asap, and for the autonomous application, that's again great news :)
Thank you for all these news !
