--with-prefix problem

[Rodrigo Moya <rmoya tsai es>]

Hi all!

When using the above option in configure specifying the same dir prefix
as the GNOME installation, the help files are found, the .desktop file
appears in the GNOME menus, etc. But, when a different prefix is used
(/usr/local for example) nothing of this happens.

Is there any way of making all this work regardless of the dir prefix
used to install the app?

Cheers
