+Q. Gmsh complains about missing libraries.
+A. Try 'ldd gmsh' to check if all required shared are installed on

+
+Q. Gmsh does not work under HP-UX.
+A. the HP version is reported not to work with native OpenGL. You
+should install install Mesa instead.
+
+Q. When moving the mouse over the graphic window, everything that is
+drawn on it disappears, and each item is visible only when the cursor
+is directly over it.
+A. You should start Gmsh with the '-noov' command line option.
+
+Q. The graphics display very slowly.
+A. Are you are executing Gmsh from a remote host (via the network)
+without GLX? You should turn double buffering off (with the -nodb
+command line option).
+
+Q. Big post-processing scenes are slow to display.
+A. Try display lists (-dl command line option).
+
+Q. Gmsh keeps re-displaying its graphics when other windows partially
+hide the graphical window.
+A. Disable opaque move in your window manager.
+
+Q. What does Gmsh mean?
+A. Nothing ;-)

+Some easy rules to make the code easy to read/debug/maintain:
+
+- please enable full warnings for your compiler (e.g. gcc -Wall)
+- always use Msg() to print information/errors/etc.
+- indent your files and, if working on Windows, suppress the tabs (untabify)
+
+
+How to add an option in the graphical user interface?
+
+1) Create the option in the Context_T class (Common/Context.h) if it's
+a classical option, or in the View class (Common/View.h) if it's a
+post-processing view-dependent option.
+
+2) In Common/DefaultOptions.h, give a name (for the parser to be able
+to access it), a reference to a handling routine (i.e. opt_XXX) and a
+default value for this option.
+
+3) Create the handling routine opt_XXX in Common/Options.cpp (and add
+the prototype in Common/Options.h).
+
+4) Create the associated widget in Fltk/GUI.cpp
+
+5) If no special callback is to be associated to the widget, add the
+handling routine opt_XXX to the OK callback for the corresponding
+option panel (in Fltk/Callbacks.cpp).
+
+6) That's it!

+
+For Windows versions of Gmsh only:
+==================================
+
+1) About opengl32.dll:
+
+If a version of the OpenGL library opengl32.dll is already installed
+on your system, you should remove the version shipped with
+Gmsh. Failing to do so may result in an incorrect behaviour of Gmsh
+(the most common being the graphic window staying "transparent").
+
+2) About cygwin1.dll:
+
+If you plan to use other programs than Gmsh which depend on the
+cygwin1.dll library (e.g. GetDP, http://www.geuz.org/getdp/), you
+should keep only one version of the library on your system. For this
+purpose, you should move the file cygwin1.dll from this directory to
+the Windows system directory (usually C:\Windows\System\) and suppress
+all other versions of cygwin1.dll. Failing to do so may result in
+incorrect behaviour of applications sharing the library and running
+simultaneously.
+
+3) About configuration files:
+
+Gmsh saves session information and default options on disk. The
+directory in which these files are saved is (in that order) $HOME (if
+the HOME variable is defined, e.g. in your autoexec.bat file), $TEMP
+(if TEMP is defined) or $TMP (if TMP is defined). If none of these
+variables are defined, Gmsh will try to save/load its configuration
+files from the current working directory.
