I tried compiling GNOME maybe a year ago... and gave up for the same

No, I don't really use GNOME, only some of their apps... I just found this
problem annoying since I wanted the icons in gnome-panel-data, but not use
the panel itself ;)
I solved it for now by just extracting the icons out of the package,
uninstalling the offending packages, and copying the icons to
/usr/share/pixmaps..
Now I still get problems because I use gdm (and gdm wants gnome-session,
session wants panel, panel wants panel-data, etc...), but I guess I can
live with this for now, until I can replace gdm with wdm or something...
:)
Thanks,
Patrix.
