Hey ! Writing such a software for Windows os OK and usual but do not begin
to do this under Linux !
All the Gnome Apps begin to ask "are u sure  ?" and "Would u like to save
you GnomeICU connecion log to ..."... It's normal for Gnome because it's
to make sure the new Linux users coming from Windows are OK, but the
console shouldn't begin to ask these stupid question...
