I didn't know this; iac I like the challenge of building bleeding edge stuff; I
learn more.

Ok. I got, from woody bonobo-0.26, but evolution can't work with anything 
beyond 0.23, if I read things right. So I managed by hook and crook to 
remove  the 0.26 deb, and built 0.23 from source. I couldn't see any other 
way around it.

Anyhoo, that is a _very_ interesting apt source, that second one. <g> Thanks!

I'm wondering if a solution to the mixed-prefix problem, /usr and /usr/local, is to
set up a chroot environment under, say, /home/bob, and create an instance of 
Gnome there that would be totally derived from source tarballs, all built with
prefix=/usr.  Thoughts? (How do you guys get around it?)
