Unanswered questions

[Jonathan Hayward <christos.jonathan.hayward@xxxxxxxxx>]

Have I broken a social rule? I've asked a few questions, and one of
them got a very helpful answer (actually, several). Then I posted a
question asking what the calls were to do several things, and that
wasn't answered, and I wondered if I came across as "please do my work
for me." Then I posted a question asking what a good way to approach
things would be, as opposed to trying to make GTK function like another
environment, and that wasn't answered. Then one or two more posts, and
I asked what was wrong with code I was trying to use to display a menu
bar at the top of a window--and that seemed to be a modest request
instead of asking people to do my work for me, one which should have an
answer like "Here's why you want to change 'if (x = 1)' to use a double
equals."

I've just gone through and removed 2.4.9 from my system (which had been
installed over 2.6.7) and forcibly reinstalled 2.6.7 so that there
wouldn't be subtle problems from inconsistent versions. The last code I
posted, under the subject "Getting menu to show," crashes with exactly
the same (diagnostic) output as before I did this.

Are there other things I should know about posting to this list?
