It's also very nice that the task is so discretised: I can get a dialog done, commit it to CVS, and not have anything nagging at me until I start the next one.

The mailing list archive only seems to go back as far as this summer, the "Old Archive" link is a 404, so I've not been able to read any of Huang's old posts. In all the dialogs, I'm just shoving std::strings and Glib::ustrings around interchangably, and expecting them all to be in nice UTF-8. As for the main document view, I haven't looked at that code at all yet, because I'm frightened of it. I realise this kind of thing will need to be dealt with eventually though. John
