     Unfortunately, no, I don't.  I used Glables a lot; I have a couple 
of videos I hand out to people that I make a lot; glables is a Godsend 
for that.

     But it's make to make a full sheet of labels each time, right now. 
  There's been some talk of integrating it to do as you say, and there 
might even be a patch, but nothing mainstream, just yet.

     For DVD labels, there's one template for splines and another for 
the disks themselves; just print two of them, re-insert the paper after 
the splines, and print the main labels on'em, to get both parts.

     Glabels is probably my favorite example of the modern Linux 
development, but like the humans that make it, sometimes it falls 
short...but at least it's always _honest_ about it, ya know?
