That's a little harsh. I am very grateful for the efforts of the
Debian volunteers, but the Gnome2 process has been exceptionally
painful. I don't know enough of the history to know how many of the
problems are caused by Gnome itself and how many from a couple of
well-meaning missteps (like the png thing). Since I'm not
volunteering to fix it myself, I won't complain any further, and will
repeat my thanks for all the work people are doing.
All the best,
David
