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!

Should we create a special gnomedesktop version of the Godwin point for people who call other trolls _systematically_ ?

The poster you call troll makes a point. The comparison is worth doing. Can't you accept that Gnome is not perfect ? If it where, there would be no more point to develop it.
