See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172365. The bug is still there,
Hoary has a hack for it which i've applied to the gamin package currently in
NEW. But it's not something that we would want in sarge. For gamin it's better
to just wait untill it has matured, which will hopefully be the case when etch
is frozen :)
