Bug#154950: Gnome 2 transition

[hobbes@easynet.be (Rémi Letot)]

Just for the record, keep in mind that some applications would not
only start unconfigured, but completely stop working on a gnome2
desktop. (panel applets, apps drawing directly on the root window,...) 

Those apps are not part of gnome, but they need an upgrade in order to
work with a gnome2 desktop. The conversion is far from complete and
making gnome2 the only contender in unstable would invalidate those
packages. Of course this is a temporary situation in most cases.

Cheers,
