C#/Mono:
Since I like Java so much, I thought Mono deserved a fair chance, so I decided to write my own hello world in Mono, and didn’t get too far. I was actually able to write my own Gnome.App and Gnome.Program subclasses and get myself a first window shown. Long live MonoDevelop, awesome tool. So then, I decided that the empty window was somewhat, well, empty, and that it needed menus.

Now, one hour later, I still don’t know how to add menus. Muine, where I’m trying to learn from, appears to use glade, I would like to just use Gnome.UIInfo for this. So my first try:

    private void
    AddMenus ()
    {
      UIInfo[] file = {
        { null, null, "Quit", "Quit", null, UIInfoType.Item },
        { null, null, null, null, null, UIInfoType.Endofinfo }
      };
      UIInfo[] menus = {
        { null, null, "File", "File", null, UIInfoType.Subtree, file},
        { null, null, null, null, null, UIInfoType.Endofinfo }
      };
      
      CreateMenus (menus);
    }

Which gives me:

Constant value `null' cannot be converted to Gnome.UIInfo(CS0031)
Constant value `null' cannot be converted to Gnome.UIInfo(CS0031)
Use of unassigned local variable `menus'(CS0165)

Right. I would actually expect predefined members for Quit and File, but that’s probably just me. Can anyone tell me how to add menus to a Gnome.App?

Update:
So I just copied the stuff from the GnomeHelloWorld.cs in mono CVS. Next problem: the anonymous CVS server of Mono.

Now what do I do?
