You don't reach through the PATH variable (unless you added some lib
directory used for the panel applets).

Right now I am sitting on a Ubuntu machine and here dwelleth a pnee
(binary, sort of at least) in:

   /usr/lib/gnome-panel/pnee

Hopefully that release sucks less as far as doc is considered.

Hmmm. Not good. We probably use different texinfo versions. Or some
other things differ.

To prevent this, from now on doc will be built statically when we make
the dist. So the doc sources will be in CVS only.

 * do you really need to install the lib,
   i'd go for --disable-lib


About Xnee in general terms. Give me some hours and I'll come with a
proposal on how to split Gnu Xnee. Perhaps cnee could be one package and
then Xnee the big get-it-all package. By doing this people low on HD can
install the cnee binary only and don't need to install the entire Gnome
thingies.

Will get back
