Hi!

Today I've uploaded an updated version of khostchooser (a KDE drop-in
replacement for the "chooser" used in conjunction with xdm or kdm) to the
Incoming directory of ftp.kde.org.

Here is the list of changes since 0.2 (the previous official release):

-) Added a "-help" command line switch

-) Added a "-version" command line switch

-) Added support for "-test" option so that you can preview your GUI
   settings from khostchooserrc

-) Fixed a bug in Makefile.am (missing -lXext)

-) Added an optional message text that is displayed under the host list.
   Configurable via the entries "MessageText" and "MessageFont" in
   khostchooserrc. (Also updated README on that).

-) Changed interface of KHostConfig. No more QString* and QFont* return
   values, but QString and QFont

-) Updated README: The recommended procedure for setting up khostchooser
   as default chooser is now editing "xdm-config" (Andreas Haumer)

-) Changed the khostchooserrc template file (Andreas Haumer)              

-) Hosts can now be selected by double--clicking into the listbox (Was
   already there in 0.2, but I forgot to document it...)

-) Fixed a bug in gui.cpp: After the first time the user has clicked into
   the listbox, there is always one highlighted item (unless the list is
   empty). -- If clicking on "ping" after clicking into the listbox,
   the "Accept" button did grey out and the currently highlighted host
   could only be "accept"-ed after moving the highlight focus in the
   listbox up and down. (Especially annoying if you have only one host
   in the list... ;-))

-) Fixed a bug in the automake stuff that cause khostchooser to install
   its documentation over the "khexdit" docs...

-) Fixed a bug in the automake setup that may have caused compilation
   to fail in the khostchooser subdir                       

The suggested placement on ftp.kde.org is:

 Begin

                (which looks rather ugly).
                It is based on the X-Consortium code for the chooser
                from X11 R6.3.
Keywords:       KDE Qt X11 chooser khostchooser

Please test khostchooser on as many platforms as possible and let me know
the results.
