This is exactly the sort of thing that I'd like to hear more about.
There is obviously going to be debate on how we solve the problem,
but can someone with the know how please make a list of the steps
necessary to test the setup ?  Sander you and I were going to look
into this.

Daniel, I'm sorry but I disagree with your assumption that all
distros will be compliant and ready for the gnome2 roll out.  If we
want help to work on a reasonable time scale we are going to need a
way to:
    1) ensure that the docs system is correctly configured for
    gnome

    2) Supply or provide pointers to the missing/broken bits.
