I'm following this up to "points some address in the middle of the list
displayed in bottom right window"

I have no clue what that means.

I just checked.  I can click "To" in compose, select the contact from
the address book, and pick any address.  It works.,  If you mean
right-click on the contact in address book and click "send-message-to",
then yep, you're right.  And I don't see how you'd expect it to do
anything else.

It depends upon the slot value;  assuming I understand what you are
talking about.

I'm certain your evaluation will cause devastating damage to the
developer's self-esteem.

I'm glad your not my manager - all your projects will certainly fail.

Actually I think they are great works. "Rubbish", especially when
pronounced with a cockney accents is fabulous.

awill...@linux-yu4c:~> rpm -q libgnomesu
libgnomesu-1.0.0-314.5.x86_64

which provides "gnomesu".  Works perfectly.

Awesome.  Have fun.
