'docs' is for the contents of the documentation.
Reassigning so the right people see this.
Comment 2 Benoît Dejean 2007-01-29 21:16:20 UTC
OK, it's missing gnome_program_init. libgnome just sucks. How am i suppose to get rid of it :/
Comment 3 Benoît Dejean 2007-01-29 21:30:08 UTC
I don't get it. i should re-add a gnome_program_init but that also requires bringing back libgnomeui ...

the doc shows :
gnome_program_init(PACKAGE, VERSION, LIBGNOMEUI_MODULE,
	                            argc, argv,
				    GNOME_PARAM_GOPTION_CONTEXT, option_context,
				    GNOME_PARAM_NONE);

how am i suppose to do this without bringing libgnomeui ...
