Re: Ogle on Solaris 8, Major success and a little tiny problem..

Hello everyone,

Here is the patch for the probleme reported below.. It works for me in all
cases and it is taken from the xmms "main.c" source file. Tell me if it
works for you and if it should be integrated into ogle_gui-0.8.6..
The trouble is that it introduces a dependency upon gdk.h and gdkx.h..
Perhaps configure.in should check for them... Here is the patch:
