Use /usr/local rather than a new top (root) level dir.
You'll still have problems with Gnome's [whutever]Conf.sh files. Is there a
good "legal" way to handle the prefix problem when you have most of Gnome
under /usr/ and want to build some extra stuff under /usr/local?

As someone who started compiling Gnome from source somewhere around the 0.2
or 0.3 tarballs, I can share with everyone that I have been won over by
Helix and simply add a line to apt's sources list and off I go, nary a care
in the world!

Otoh, if anyone has successfully built GtkHTML in gnome-perl with a Debian
unstable system please let me know?
