Re: gnome2: calling gnome_help_display() fails

Rodrigo,

thanks for advice. I modified my Makefile.am to include defines below
and used GNOME_PROGRAM_STANDARD_PROPERTIES, with the same result - no
dice. 


BTW, it doesn't look like I can pass GNOME_PROGRAM_STANDARD_PROPERTIES
to either of Gnome::Main () constructors. I went ahead and modified
libgnomemm's code to do so, but, again with no visible result. 


Any other ideas to try?
