Re: [glade--]bug in including pixmaps

Hi,

this is clearly a show stopping bug. src=. will not work with pixmaps, 
(yet). It never came to my mind ... why do you omit the src structure, I 
was always annoyed by the many autoconf/automake files being around in 
my source directory.

I'll try to prepare a patch for it today, apply it to glade-- cvs, and 
(if you need to) even make a release.

The problem is to get the pixmap dir relative to the src dir.

Sorry, I have no working combination, the .. is unconditional. Perhaps 
you can do
(cd ..; ln -s ui/pixmaps pixmaps)
to solve the problem until a patch is available.
