Howdy,

Hope you don't mind.

Added Micheal's repo to SuseStudio.

From within an OpenSUSE 12.1 (32bit) vm project, go to the Software tab,
click on Add repository and enter the name: mm-gtk3

That adds the repo to your project, then you can add individual packages
as needed, as usual.

ok, could of come up with a better name, I suppose ;)
