In the absence of the promised documentation for initial-setup, I ended up using firstboot anyway. I backported my code to pygtk2 again, and filed a bug for the missing dependencies in the packaging. The bug has now been closed on the basis that firstboot is deprecated and replaced by initial-setup, but I *still* don't see any sign of the long-promised documentation. Or even any example 'skeleton' of a standalone module to start from. Is there any prospect of that happening any time soon, please? -- dwmw2
