General Applet Interface Library - GAI
		    
Thanks for downloading and trying GAI!

This library is intended to simplify the development and use of
dockapps and gnome panel applets. With this library the programmer
can focus on what the applet shall do, not on the interface.

What this library provides:
 - Handeling of all sizes of the Gnome panel. 
   From the programs view, the size is always the same.
 - Simple file handeling via gdk_pixbuf.
 - Loading and storing of values and strings.
 - A simple structual way of making preferences window.
 - Generates images from ascii text based upon fonts.
 - Support for both Gnome 2 Panel Applets and Dockaps/wmapplets.
 - Simple interface to connect events, like mouse button clicks.
 - All you applet programmers wish for! 
 See doc/ for more.

See ChangeLog for changes between the versions.

PLEASE PLEASE don't fill in any bug reports in bugzilla, sourceforge.net, 
dockapps.org and at some other place. I don't have the time to go around
and check it. PLEASE mail bug reports/problems to me directly. Thanks!
