[PATCH] accessing drivers informations from hwbrowser

[Cyril Bortolato <borto users sourceforge net>]

Attached is a patch that adds a button named "Driver Informations"
to the hwbrowser GUI.

After selecting a device, clicking on the button brings up a window
that displays the corresponding driver's parameters. It lets you
edit those parameters. If you save the changes it updates your
/etc/modules.conf accordingly.

You'll need to get and install the gmodconfig control from CVS:
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=71198
The latest gmodconfig release (0.6) won't work with hwbrowser
(it'll complain of a missing symbol). You'll need to get the version
from CVS which has the necessary fix (i.e. linking libgmodconfig.so
to libstdc++).

For more informations about embedding the gmodconfig control see:
http://gmodconfig.sourceforge.net/embed/

Feedback welcome. In particular I can't figure out how to hide the
Driver Informations button when the gmodconfig control is not
installed. In that case I'm calling hide() on the button widget,
but it remains displayed. Any idea?

Cyril
