Thamer, the above is directed to you :-)

Thamer, could you please see if you'd like to get this incorporated into
our CVS somehow (maybe under itl/programs/gnome or similar) - there is
certainly demand for this (and the KDE client that I've seen in the
past) else we should get it incorporated within the Gnome project proper.

Anwer, you had sent mail to me and Thamer privately (and used a wrong
email address for Thamer no less) which gives me a great excuse to tell
you (and everyone else reading archives) to always post to the appropriate
mailing-list (post subscribing to the list of course).  As such, you should
expect your answer on the 'developer' mailing-list on Arabeyes.

Salam.
