Jim - on my 4.5 system this is what gdialog says...

gdialog --help gdialog is a compatibility wrapper around zenity, provided to hopefully allow older scripts to run. If you are reading this message, you should probably be using zenity directly

type: 'zenity --help' or 'man zenity' for more information

This is odd. I get nothing of the sort on my centos5 box, but I suppose it could be a version difference. Here, I get the following:

Auto-size with height and width = 0. Maximize with height and width = -1. Global-auto-size if also menu_height/list_height = 0.

Nothing about zenity at all.

So the super secret CentOS5 is hidden from me?
