One problem I see with this layout is that the $PREFIX/share/pixmaps/hpoj
directory is missing, which contains pixmaps required by xojpanel.

I assume that when one builds an RPM from the SRPM using the instructions you
previously sent me, the configure script is invoked before compiling the
source.  If you're going to install under /usr instead of /usr/local, make
sure you pass the --prefix=/usr option to ./configure to ensure that the
correct pixmap path is specified when xojpanel gets compiled.

Please make sure you make it clear in the SRPM what changes (relative to 0.7)
you made, for example, adding the init script and .conf file.

What are the alias entries?

I don't think it's appropriate to put the SRPM itself in CVS, but I will make
it available from the download page along with the instructions you sent me
on how to build the RPM.
