gdialog in GtkAda

[Mike-591]

Hi,

GtkAda provides a binary /usr/bin/gdialog, which conflicts with a
similarly named binary provided by the zenity
(http://live.gnome.org/Zenity) package on Debian and Ubuntu systems.
This means that on such systems with Zenity installed (most GNOME
systems), the GtkAda libraries cannot be installed at the same time.
See the following bug reports:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497464
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280188

Could you consider renaming or removing gdialog in future releases of GtkAda?

Thanks,

Mike Trim

Yes, gdialog is not a critical component of GtkAda, so a renaming would
probably be fine.

Feel free to suggest/post a patch on this list for inclusion.
