Ahmed, Excellent :)
I hope you can free up some time so we can work on unifying the two packages. Please let me know if you do. I had a look at the code, that's a job very well done :) I especially like the graphics. Some new changes have been introduced in Gnome, that might be of interest to both of us. First, it is recommended to use libglade instead of generating source code. http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/libglade/libglade.html And I kind of understand why: loading the xml file is so much easier than generating code every time a UI change is introduced, + it is so much less of a mess. Also, there is a new GtkStatusIcon class, so there is no need to use eggtrayicons any more. I'm hoping to merge some of the graphics and code. Ahmed, I'm also hoping that you maintain this. I've gone to great length to make Prayer Times' code clean and readable. There are HACKING and other necessary files (the bootstrap should be fine). Regarding the status of Gnome Prayer Times, it now has a tray icon, and thanks to adn, it has a complete working bootstrap (adn even produced a .deb package!).
