Sorry to be a pain here, I just want to confirm I'm doing the right
thing before I start filing bugs (and what should I file them against?).

I just compiled a fresh GNOME from CVS, including GTK+, Metacity,
gnome-desktop, and gnome-panel. Before everything I compiled
"startup-notification-0.4" which I found at freedesktop.org, and made
sure that Metacity and gnome-desktop were finding it. I'm launching apps
from gnome-utils that I've confirmed have the necessary .desktop voodoo.

So at this point I should be seeing hourglass cursors and dummy entries
in the window list when I launch things, and if I don't I should file a
bug?
