The way it's implemented right now, it's all optional.  If anyone wants 
to contribute sound files, I'll put them up on the gperiodic website,
and offer them up as an option -- as a seporate package, with it's own
install routines.

As far as knowing how to use this in a classrom, or the target user,
I have no idea -- I was reading about gtk+, adn needed something to help me 
learn it.  The idea to create a periodic table came about purely by
chance, I was just a boored developer.
