Description : gtk front-end for /bin/true
This package is unfortunately not being maintained upstream.
Perhaps a Debian developer would like to adopt it, and win the
unending gratitude of its users.
Also, I have an important patch. I include the email I sent to the
author about this patch. (The author has not responded.)

Joachim,
I ran into a problem using gtktrue in a script. The script would
not complete if the user was not around to click on "Ok". I think
power-users of gtktrue (such as myself) would like to be able to use
it non-interactively. So I made a patch for this. When invoked
with --batch-mode, gtktrue will display its message for a second,
then exit.
I understand that you are not very interested in maintaining gtktrue
anymore. However, I still hope you will accept this patch, as it is
critical for anyone using gtktrue in enterprise applications.
Andrew
PS. I oberved that there weren't enough code formatting styles in
the program, limiting its pedagogic value. I have made a small
effort towards correcting this.
