This is precisely the point I reached this evening, and we both have
the same problem for the same reason: neither of us has Gnome.  I got
to the point in the documentation where it says "Click the
SparkleShare status icon ..."  I haven't found a solution to that one
yet.  The sparkleshare process is running, but I have no idea how to
invoke it to make changes, and Google hasn't been my friend so far.
