I think this was just mentioned a couple weeks ago, however, I have a 
question.  Does this work only with the Gnome environment, or is it a 
function of a Gtk application?

For example, I'm running under fvwm2, will this work if I fire up 
GnuCash?  I thought I tried it and it didn't work, so I'm guessing 
it's a Gnome thing.

Thanks,
