updates and comments on garnome 2.8.0

[Stef van der Made <svdmade planet nl>]

Dear Paul,

First of all I would like to thank you for a great new release :-)))

I have completed building most of the 2.8.0 release and found a few 
minor issues. I have assorted them per folder.  The 2.8.0 was very 
smooth with only a few minor issues.

bindings

on libsigc++ I had to downgrade as the current release doesn't like 
gcc-3.4.x and 3.3.x. There is a bug report out there to fix the issue. I 
hope they soon issue a 2.0.6 to fix the problem :-)

broken

Screem: To get this package compiled I had to upgrade to 0.11.5 as the 
current stable version doesn't like the new libcroco versioning schema 
in pkgconfig


Updates on desktop

For nautilus I still needed the patch that is found on the bugzilla 
site. Without this patch I coulden't compile nautilus 2.8.0. The patch 
still applies clean. the bugzilla site: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=30302&action=view

for ephipiphany I had to upgrade to version 1.8a3 and add this patch 
FreeType-2.1.9.patch as found on this page: 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234035

for gnome-volume-manager I have added a dependancy for bootstrap/dbus 
and boostrap/hal to get the compiled

Fifth-toe

I saw that a new release of xine-lib was released recently. This release 
is called 1-rc6a and solved a number of bugs. It compiled fine so you 
might wan't to include it in the next release.

Gaim compiles fine once more. I have no clue what caused the 
eggcellrender keys bug to reappear. Probably murpheys law popping up 
while you are trying to finishup testing quickly. It was upgraded to 
version 1.0.0 last night.

Cheers,

Stef
