gpe-mail suggest sqlite, which requires libreadline4 (and libc6).

Mr. mccarthy, please add the libreadline4 and libc6 as dependencies for
sqlite

>>>
>>>1. If a specific date is selected or displayed on the main gpe-calendar screen, and you create a new event, the new event screen should default the Start On and End On dates to that date. (Example: Select a future date, say Sept. 15, 2002 on the main screen, then hit the New Event button, the Start On and End On dates default to the current date, and have to be changed.)
>>>2. Sort of an extention of number 1, when creating a new event, and you select a date for the event to Start On, the End On date field should automatically be changed to that date as well. Takes one less step out of creating events. (Same can go for the time...if a Start time of, say, 1:00PM is selected, perhaps default the End On time to 2:00PM or something similar).
>>>3. In gpe-todo, how about making the main view a tree view instead, and do away with the drop down in the toolbar? With the drop down, you have to either view all todo's, or todo's in only one specific category. With a tree view, one could display todo's for multiple categories. (Hope that one made sense.)
>>>4. gpe-what is a great idea, but it should *never* let the click pass-through to the application (if technically possible). I say this because someone could do something undesirable if the application doesn't support gpe-what help, and a user clicks on gpe-what, then on a button, and boom. All his/her stuff dissappears, or he deletes an important e-mail or whatever.
>>>5. An extension to number 4, it's be nice to if the gpe-what icon could change to indicate the user is in "help" mode (somewhat like xstroke does, so you know it's currently activated).
>>>6. Also an extension to number 4, it'd be great if gpe-what worked on everything, so if I clicked gpe-what, then clicked on the mini-calc dock icon, it'd get a message indicating it was a calculator...and if there was no help associated with it, it'd display a default message "I don't know what this is" or some such thing.
>>>
>>>Now, perhaps someone can help me out with a dumb problem with gpe-mail. I've got the latest versions of gpe-mail, emailsync, and gpe-contacts, but when I start typing in the To: address, the drop down box that should display matching e-mail contacts is blank. (And, yes, I do have e-mail addresses in gpe-calendar.) (Erez, I could never get this feature to work in your pymap either!) I think it's just me, and not really a bug, or I would've thought someone else would have posted about it by now. Any suggestions/ideas anyone can offer?
