# gdialog -> zenity conversion wrapper

# This is all, of course, horrible - but it should translate
8
# most commond gdialog types to zenity equivalents. It will mostly drop
9
# the pointless and unused (even by gdialog!) size arguments
10
# but hopefully will translate all the others.
12
# For testing purposes, I've used a couple of the nautilus scripts
13
# available at http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net - what is sometimes
14
# unclear is what is a gdialog/zenity translation problem, and what is
15
# a problem with the original script

30
