This is a Gnome FAQ item. Gnome is not meant to have a single window manager. In it's final form, it will work with any window manager. There is the beginnings of a specification for what needs to be done to a window manager for it to be Gnome compliant. I suspect that icewm, scwm, and enlightenment will be gnome-compliant window managers, as their developers are also gnome developers. > Also it seems some libraries/binaries are compiled with debug flags set.

The rest of it looks like a bug. The Gnome 0.20 release is essentially a snapshot release (alpha quality at that), and it has not undergone a rigourous testing cycle upstream. So I'm expecting lots of bugs like this. I wouldn't go to great lengths trying to report bugs like this, as they have probably already been corrected upstream, as Gnome is under very active development. I've mentioned that it is alpha-quality code in the README, and it's definitely not ready for general consumption (ie. the stable Debian release) > Finally there is one incorrect dependency. gnome-utils depend on > libobgtk0 but there is only libobgtk1 Oops. My mistake. I'll upload a fixed version right away. In the meantime, using dpkg --force-depends should work. Cheers, - Jim
