There has been some discussion about libgnomeprint on the desktop-devel
list lately. The short version is that no releases have been made for a
while, but people working from CVS have happily been using more recent
versions without realising that the wider world did not have access to
tarballs.

There will be a new tarball of libgnomeprint rolled Real Soon Now,
apparently. 

As far as glimmer is concerned, the maintainer appears to have made an
error by releasing a tarball that depends on an unreleased
libgnomeprint, but these things happen from time to time. A quick bug
report to the glimmer maintainer(s) should correct that. No big deal.

Cheers,
Malcolm
