} Does this mean that, once gnome2 gets into testing, we're all screwed?
Um, well, depends on your point of view. I was running all unstable up
until a few months ago. It was the gnome2 transition that made me figure
out how to do pinning and such to have a testing/unstable mix. But I had to
keep using the machine for work-related stuff while I played with pinning
in my spare time, so I got used to gnome2. Now I like it far better than
1.4, especially the anti-aliased fonts, and never got around to downgrading
it.

My sawfish configuration from gnome 1.4 was unaffected by the upgrade to
2.0 or 2.2. The only problem I've been having is that the binding control
panel for sawfish doesn't let me add or edit anymore (gives a GTK error).
It's a sawfish problem, not a gnome problem, and I'm expecting it to be
fixed before it hits testing.

Eh? I don't know what you mean by that.
