Albrecht,

I almost sent this before seeing Peter's reply, but I do have a  
separate issue.  I'm trying to install Osmo on my Gentoo box.  The  
ebuild their site links to is for 0.2.10.  I'm trying to modify it to  
use 0.2.14 (before I try for current svn version) and seem stuck on it  
wanting libwebkit for html rendering in order to get contacts.  My  
understanding is that libwebkit has become libwebkitgtk.  Before I go  
down a rabbit hole of creating bad patches and symlinks, is the svn  
version any different in that dependency?  Do you know if they are  
planning on updating that?

Thanks for any info.

Jack
