Goats

A sticky-note type program for Gnome 2

To install:

./configure
make
make install (as root)

It is recommended to also execute "gconftool-2 --shutdown" (as the user you are logged in as) before trying to run Goats - this ensures the defaults will be recognised properly.

If you wish to change the installation prefix for Goats AFTER building it, you must "make clean", before executing "make" and "make install" again.

For more detailed instructions see the INSTALL file.

To run goats, select "Sticky Notes Applet" from the Add To Panel -> Utility menu. You cannot run the goats-applet binary directly. You may need to log out of Gnome and back in again for the applet to appear in the menu.

For feedback email martin@menudo.freeserve.co.uk

You can use GConf to create and manipulate goats from other programs - see the goat-create program for a simple example. It creates a note containing the text given on the command line (e.g. goat-create "Hi There!"). However this will only work if the applet is present.
