Control center 1.5.8



Version 1.5.8 of the GNOME Control Center, as well as the capplet
library and the supplementary capplets (control-center-plus) is now
available. This new version of the GNOME Control Center depends on GAL
0.12, as 
opposed to the previous version which required GAL 0.9. This is a bugfix
release.

* What's new

	- Refactored background rendering code; in particular translucent
	  backgrounds should now render properly

 	- The bonobo-conf capplets now have Apply and Close buttons, rather
	  than Ok and Cancel, to be more in tune with the Setup Tools.

 	- The rollback capplet dialog has similar changes

 	- Many, many bug fixes and cleanups

This version of the control center requires the following packages in
addition to the GNOME 1.4 platform:
