Very nice.

I just compiled the complete desktop part without any problems. It also 
seems to run out of the box. Some info about my setup. I had garnome 
2.8.0 installed. Deleted the old garnome bin and work directories and 
started the new garnome 2.8.0.3 build. (My base system is fedora core 2 
with updates)

The only thing that didn´t work was epiphany. But that is ok as it needs 
mozilla which is a huge beast. It would of course be nice if we could 
get a special mozilla release from the mozilla folks that only includes 
gecko and whatever else is needed by epiphany. Or epiphany could be 
moved to a separate directory that automatically includes mozilla. So 
you still can start with dektop only but won´t get an error for 
epiphany. This would be nice for garnome beginners as they perhaps think 
it is their fault that epiphany does not work.

Thanks for the great work.
