gnome vs gnome-utils

[Geert Janssens]

Simple question: when should code go into the gnome directory and when in 
gnome-utils ?

Both are obviously for gui related code, but I don't see when to use which.



Background: I added some code to use a keychain or keyring for db passwords on 
systems that have such a thing available. For me this is utility function, so 
I put it in gnome-utils. But if no keychain/ring if found to lookup a 
password, this code calls the GnuCash built-in username/password dialog to get 
one. But this code is in gnome. I just don't understand why. That seems like a 
utility to me as well.

So a simple rule or a pointer to some discussion around this would help me 
tremendously.

Thanks,

Geert
