Sure, please feel free. I'll release it to the public domain. Do it become so if I just say it? I hope so, it'll be like magic! *waves arms* it is away! If it makes anyone so frustrated about bad code that they hurt themselves, it's not my fault!

I would say though, that you should probably study someone else's code if you want to learn something. Speedometer seems to have some nice stuff in there regarding event hooks and such. This code was mostly auto-generated via glade-2 with my little bits and bobs bunged into main.c
