I didn't test it intensively yet, but the first impression is very
good. I'm probably going to try Xtlf in the WPX contest in 3 weeks
in a serious SOAB HP effort.

There were a few warnings by libglade during the startup, probably
because I'm using a rather old version of libglade (Debian Sarge).

(xtlf.pl:3261): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property `urgency_hint'
for class `GtkWindow'
(xtlf.pl:3261): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property
`pack_direction' for class `GtkMenuBar'
(xtlf.pl:3261): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property
`child_pack_direction' for class `GtkMenuBar'
(xtlf.pl:3261): libglade-WARNING **: unknown property
`do_overwrite_confirmation' for class `GtkFileChooserDialog'

Also the startup is pretty slow. After about 5 seconds with full
CPU load (I think he is parsing cty.dat etc. at that time), xtlf
seems to do nothing for about 30 seconds, then the said warnings
appear and another 30 second later, the main xtlf logging screen  
shows up.

YUDX still works, FOC seems to be broken but I'll fix that ASAP.

You deserve it. Good job!
