From cd8f824661cc84cf49b02a23aeee400987038386 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: fgerlits <fgerlits@cfc7b370-4200-0410-a6e3-cb6bdb053afe>
Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 13:49:40 +0000
Subject: [PATCH] refactoring, stage 2:  * standalone windows now know their

 bundle, gLiveSupport, glade, and mainWindow initialization into  the parent
 class.
