gpe-sketchbook 0.1.3

Hi,

I just updated the last binary to unstable

* I checked/removed glade stuff so that it losts few Ko :)

* it uses now png file format

* it uses gpe stock icons
  also it adds prev.png next.png about.png which might be moved for commom use.

* it now scroll correctly the drawing area (!) so you can access *all* the area in any mode. But that brings a little issue: as far as I used it with a biger drawing area than the screen, and mainly in portrait mode, everything was fine - even if part of the sketch was never used. But now it will display the scrolling bars. I hate scrolling bars for few pixels! it takes place for (almost) nothing.
Well, what do you think?
What could be an optimal sketch size? about the screen size? much biger?
I thought also to remove the scrollbars and to scroll with the (hard)buttons...

* the "DO/DON'T-dialog" got a nice [!] icon :)
  so this could be moved to the lib for common use.
  To be complete, we could provide an "Info" and a "Warning" dialog (basicaly the same as error_box but with a different icon) So maybe an "OK-dialog" with a parameter (error/warning/info).

* I added a somehow nice looking "about" box
  I always been frustrated by programs which provide a help menu with a SINGLE entry: "about", which does not help at all in any way... So I put in a scrollable label to allow an help text (see about.[ch]). As a simple policy, the text could contain minimum information to "orient" the user, telling what this application is *about* ! Let me know what you think about it.

cheers,
luc
