In case you delete the source tree and want to uninstall, you can also
do it more quickly:

cd <meta-garball>
make configure
cd work/main.d/package-name
make uninstall

(so actually building is not necessary)

You may need to set your environment before you uninstall (PATH,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and XDG* env. variables at least). This is very
important if you have more than one GNOME (garnome) installed. The
libraries and path could collide otherwise.

VIX
