And gail, bug-buddy, libbonoboui, evolution.

I've reverted the changes in Epiphany now myself; all the others still
need reverting.

In case you're wondering *how* to revert, it's easy: find the
corresponding mail on the cvs-commits-list, click the bonsai link, then
click the "Show commands which could be used to back out these changes"
link, and use the output as a shell script.
