I don't seem to have recieved any bug reports from you.

Since I'm on powerpc, I still build packages manually from time to
time.  This means I may not be totally in sync with what's happening on
i386 in experimental.  The only way I'll know about and be able to fix
problems on i386 with the gnome2 package is if you file well-researched
bug reports.
