Yes - shipping build fix patches is a *massive* regression in the release

Well, we'll have to switch back to police brutality then. :-) Time
for some beatings...the following issues are still relevant AFAICT:
Problems which don't have patches:
-----------------------------------
evolution-data-server 324546 e-d-s doesn't work with mozilla 1.8 or
firefox 1.5; epiphany & yelp don't work with older
mozilla. We don't want to depend on both
(There is a patch but claims nss has to be
disabled for e-d-s for it to work)
Problems with patches:
-----------------------------------
gnome-system-tools N/A requires system-tools-backends which require
perl bindings to DBus; Carlos said he'd make it
optional here:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2006-June/msg00007.html
(Frederic Peters has a patch for this)
evolution-data-server 344790 won't find mozilla libraries, causes build
breakage in other apps like bug-buddy
gnopernicus 344695 can't find gdkx.h
gnome-mag 344295 checked-in file automatically generated/modified
deskbar-applet 345011 type -> crash (lone non-build issue in this list)
