Why is this so radically different from the one listed in the GNOME
user's FAQ?  http://www.gnome.org/faqs/users-faq/compiling.html#AEN311
I'd think we should be using that order with the new packages inserted
where appropraite.  If we're not going to use the order from the FAQ
with additions, I think control-center depends on gnome-libs.  I've not
found anything else that's broken just yet, but I'm still looking.  (I
have one report of the imlib-config being broken, but I haven't gotten
that far).  Later,
