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!

Sorry, maybe I wasn't being coherent enough (often guilty!) -
It is for the Paul folder, but pictures is one of the sub folders of Paul, therefore I thought the drop down should be over the top of the Pictures button, as Pictures is the current subfolder of Paul, and you are trying to choose an alternate one, IMHO it would be better to have the dropdown appear in place of 'Pictures' with 'pictures' maybe in bold on said menu.
