RE: Galeon2 / Nautilus as a web browser [was: Re: KDE Interop [Wa s: D-BUS background]]

Actually we have a half-GEPed policy now for GNOME version numbers. I think
_almost_ everything in GNOME 2.2 is meant to have a 2.2.x version number.

But stuff that isn't part of GNOME platform or desktop, such as Galeon,
probably shouldn't bother with it. We don't need stuff calling itself
version 2.2.0 just because it uses GNOME 2.2 libraries.
