GNOME 3.6 Blocker Report

[Andre Klapper <ak-47 gmx net>]

A few hours ago UI Freeze, Feature Freeze and API/ABI Freeze for 3.5.x
started. Also the String Change Announcement Period started.

The blocker list below is not necessarily complete. 
Feedback, updates, help from packagers, developers, maintainers,
contributors, etc. is welcome. Please do speak up if some important bugs
are not listed here, or if some tickets should not be blockers.

Note: This list also includes open reports that still have a 3.4 target.
