>   command.
> * NEW: CVS directories are now automatically hidden.
> 
> DATABASE MANAGER
> 
> * NEW: The databaser manager starts using stock icons.

> COMPILER

> GB.QT COMPONENT
> 
> * NEW: The Stock class has been redesigned and completed.
> * NEW: Stock.List returns the list of all stock icon names.
> * NEW: Application.Theme is a new property that stores the application
>   theme. This property is used, for example, by the Stock class to choose
>   which icon theme should be displayed.
> * NEW: ToggleButton.Radio is a new boolean property that makes it behave 
>   like a RadioButton when it is set.
> * NEW: When loading an image, the component looks before for an image with
>   the same basename, but with an underscore followed by the current
>   application theme added. For example, if Application.Theme is "gnome",
>   and if you load the "flower.png" image, then a "flower_gnome.png" will be
>   loaded instead if it exits.
> * BUG: Label autoresize was enabled again.
> * NEW: ListBox, ListView, TreeView and ColumnView events are now dispatched
>   immediately if the selection mode is "Single".
> * NEW: Message boxes now follow the application theme.
> * BUG: When the application is uniconified, the focus correctly returns to
>   the correct form, and not always to the main window.
> 
> GB.QT.EXT COMPONENT
> 
> * BUG: Editor.GetPurgedLine() now correctly deals with quoted string
>   characters.
> * NEW: A margin was added between line numbers and text in the editor.
> 
> GB.FORM COMPONENT
> 
> * NEW: DirChooser and FileChooser now raise an Icon event that allows to 
>   change the icon displayed for each file. The icon must be stored in the
>   new Icon property inside the Icon event handler.
> * BUG: A potential crash in DirChooser and FileChooser has been fixed.
> * NEW: FileChooser.SelectedPath property is now writable.
> * NEW: Wizard.ShowTitle is a property that allows to hide the wizard title.
> 
> GB.DB COMPONENT
> 
> * NEW: The gb.db.sqlite driver was renamed as gb.db.sqlite3.
> * NEW: A new gb.db.sqlite pseudo-driver had been created that automatically
>   switches between gb.db.sqlite2 and gb.db.sqlite3 as needed.
> * NEW: Field names are systematically quoted when using Find and Edit 
>   methods.

On my system (KDE 3.5.4 on Suse 10.1) I see all the icons...
Benoit, you made a great work ;-)
I like very much the new look of Gambas IDE... but I still to have the
same problem with Gambas logo on splash screen: it seems on a background
layer and the Gambas text on the left covers it (you can see this
problem searching on the newsletter: I published a screenshot some days
ago).
