Yea, I don't know of any nice way to make a README file nicely visible/accessible by a user -- so all I do is put it somewhere where it can be read -- in this version I moved it to its own '.mchronos' directory...

Edit Reminder: an 'online' version of the respective README files is always available on my software page (http://darethehair.googlepages.com/software.html).

Thanks, but it is (currently) not so much that I *cannot* use glade if I really want to, but I wanted to learn how to do PyGTK development *without* a fancy assistant like that -- if you know what I mean. However, this, in itself, should not prevent me from being able to create a new 'window' in MChronos, so I am not sure what the trick is. I have found no examples to guide me -- after all, how many Maemo transparent-window HomeItem Python apps are out there for me to learn from?

In any case, I hope that you and the others enjoy the new version -- I think it is getting crazy to put so much *stuff* into a desktop applet! That is what MEphemeris is for!
