The segfault i experienced only occur when using /home/user/sword as SWORD_PATH , i have no clue why, but things worked better if i use another directory to store my modules.

I have several question about katana:

1) How on earth do you use gdb on this thing ?

I compiled it with -g (after adding it in the Makefile manually), but i always end up with gdb segfaulting when it is supposed to stop at a break point.

2) There is a problem when using french module encoded in utf-8 such as FreSegond

The following patch makes the display works correctly using QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecF orName("UTF-8")) ; in InfiniteScrollViewer::insertParagraph

http://81.56.33.6/melmoth/katana-utf8.diff

However, i guess a cleaner way would be to first check the module is actually encoded in utf8 before doing so.

3) would it be possible to use some tool such as designer to generate the layout with a nice gui thingy ? :-)

4) what about a mailing list hosted on garage ?
