Turns out that having a movable mono is easy, it's gtksharp where the trouble starts.....

And as all the cool mono apps require gtksharp...... which requires gtk 2.4 or greater

And the deps for gtksharp are:

• libpango1.0
• libgtk2.0
• libxml2
• libart-2.0
• libgnomecanvas2
• libgnomeui
• libgnomeprintui2.2
• libgda2
• librsvg2
• libgtkhtml3.2
• libvte
• libgnomedb2
• libpanel-applet2

So pretty much all of gnome then.......

Many apps in linux are coded using absolute paths, never a good idea really

This can cause a lot of trouble when trying to package an app into a cmg

Introducing the 'Ugly Absolute Path Hack'

We compile the path to /tmp/app-name-version-guid

We then alter the wrapper to soft link at run time /tmp/app-name-guid to the mounted location of the cmg.

And there you go you have an absolute path you can referance off of.

NOTE: This is no way even near 'best practice' but it does help to get some packages working as a last ditch no other options left hack

Tried F-spot out for the first time.

Genius to the guy who thought up the timescale bar, so obvious yet so good

Nobodys saying a 6 month release cycle is bad , in fact it's good.

But not having the latest and greatest is bad so heres the rest

klik://thunderbird

I've been using iFolder at work for a while now and its great,

There is a cmg I've compiled at http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=5199

This requires mono with GTK#

This is an easy one, run the script for icons in the previous post
download the icon at http://klik.atekon.de/ikons/klik.pngSave it as ~/.icons/gnome-mime-application-x-extension-cmg.png

This will give you an icon on ALL cmg's in gnome
