Yea, we're going to have to do something about this, aren't we?
I wonder if RLB is still reading this list?

I presume this is GtkHTML?

are you sure you pulled down the gnucash-gnome2-dev branch from CVS?
There should be no reason to specify aclocal-1.4 or automake-1.4;
the code should work with all 1.x x=4,5,6,7.

Nope.  The g2 port is not considered far enough along to warrant
bugs in the database.  Log into #gnucash on IRC and talk to TomF and
jpetersen and help them.

This sounds like either g-wrap isn't working right, or the Tip of the
Day Dialog hasn't been ported.
