  I saw gnomeicu on that list, which I use on a daily basis.  I assure you it
is not useless.  Both bugs were reported by the same person yesterday; I suspect
the maintainer hasn't gotten around to replying to them yet.  They look like
possibly a local misconfiguration (eg, bad stuff hanging out in /usr/local), as
I'd expect that to occur on my system as well, and..well..it doesn't.  (I don't
know what gnomeicu-client program he's talking about, as that file doesn't even
exist on my system, yet he has a strace that distinctly shows it being
executed--ie, argv[0] is gnomeicu-client)
