Well since gnome is my window manager of choice I'd be happy to start on 
that project. I have a small problem at the moment. I can't log on to CVS 
with the anoncvs account yet and so cannot build a repository. It's not a 
CVS problem but a proxy problem. In fact I can't get any programs that 
require internet access to work except for opera, which has its own proxy 
settings. I know what proxy and which proxy port I need to use, I just don't 
know how to set them as environment variables on my machine. Maybe someone 
with more Unix experience can help me with this.

In the mean time, I'm browsing the CVS logs and the CVS files available to 
take a look at some of you gentlemen's work to try and get an idea what 
standards you prefer to use. If there is any particular file you would like 
me to get started on right away, tell me about it and I will download the 
file and work on it, while waiting for a response from someone about my 
proxy problem.

Thanks,
Abdulaziz
