For extra excitement this time, you'll need cairo from cvs, or the snapshot
available here:

This is less than ideal, but at least it allows us to test GNOME tarballs
that require it. Cairo 0.6.0 is expected very soon.

TESTING! TESTING! TESTING!

This release is a feature frozen snapshot primarily intended for wide public
scrutiny before the final GNOME 2.12 release in September. GNOME uses odd minor
version numbers to indicate development status. Please check the 2.11 page

Happy testing!

Oh

Well, okay, I honestly don't know who came up with that, but atleast they implemented it. So, wouldn't it be good in Nautilus, too? I mean, shamelessly copy anything that's a Good Idea (TM). Btw, I don't ever intend to run any other OS than Linux and Windoze, and Windoze only for games and to torture myself =P
