Btw, how is your name pronounced? Depending on it I can come up with
two Russian spellings:
Джозеф and Йозеф.

The first is if "J" is read like in "Joke", the second is if "J" is
read like "Yo" in "New York" :-)

Now to the gaming stuff ;)

It shouldn't be hard to do. What would you expect from it? Some concrete API?

Yeah, me too. Seems like this is my motherboard that is broken...

Oh, that's nice! I thought that it would be something KDE4-dependant.

OK, thanks for info!
Do you consider to put all this stuff (developer tutorial+user setup
instructions) in some kind of GGZ-HOWTO? :-)

Dmitry.
