	Back in November we had a very long discussion about the proposal to
add libgnomesu in 2.10. I don't think we ever came to a consensus that
it should be added ...

	As part of the discussion there was confusion about whether the
dependancy could be added to gnome-system-monitor in the absence of a
consensus to add libgnomesu to the Desktop release set:

	I'd re-iterate what I said then.
