Yes, of course we want. The only thing I was referring to were the
compilation problems with the GConf 1.1.1 tarball, when both ORBit1 and
ORBit2 are installed. These problems have nothing to do with any ORBit1
version in the first place, but are a bug in Gconf's configure.in (it
tries to use orbit-idl compiler instead of orbit-idl-2). This bug _only_
occures in the GConf-1.1.1 _tarball_, it's already fixed in CVS.  This was
what I wanted to say. Sorry, for the confusion.

Regards,

  Jens
