What do you think we should do with the Gnome stuff?

The Gnome 0.30 stuff is still under rather heavy development.  The
current packages in Slink are pretty much alpha-quality.  Lots of
things don't work.  It sounds like there will probably be a 1.0
release coming up in a few months that will be thoroughly tested and
stable.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to release them as a part of a
"stable" distribution, as they really aren't.  There aren't any
guarantees that the stuff that runs today is going to run tomorrow.

Cheers,
