well, I remember that in May it was you who told me that being the
libgnome maintainer doesn't authorize me to make changes in libgnome
which affect the whole platform without discussing.

We talked about this and sorted it out and then everything went fine -
but now that Anders is the maintainer this rule doesn't seem to apply
anymore.

Talking on IRC or the phone really sounds like a good idea to me - but

about an hour anyways.
