Re: Nautilus

[Ali Abdin <ALIABDIN aucegypt edu>]

I have found no way to get gnome-config to recognize other dirs :)

Oh well.

Also - you need to copy some stuff using the gnome-config --prefix - Its
kind of 'hardcoded' into GNOME unfortunately.

First of all, you need to copy the 'data' stuff into gnome-config --prefix
Check $HOME/share - the 'top' directory needs to go into `gnome-config 
--prefix`/share - I also recommend you install the pixmaps into the 
`gnome-config --prefix`/share.

What I usually do is cvs update, configure using my custom --prefix, and 
then I hack three Makefile's to use '/usr' :)

Hope this helps :)
