OK, quite a long posting:
 - two replies to other peoples reactions,
 - new bugs and fixes.

Dunno about the order, went OK after reinstalling ORBit, coz
I missed libORBit.* (disk quota...)

I already have 30 MB more than this morning and gnome-core _just_ fits :-)

At least I got it all compiled and installed now; see below.

This happens to be the case entirely.
I have 25 MB libraries (partially gnome) and 30 MB binaries (mainly
gnome) in my private directories now.

Not through the firewall here...

--- new bugs and some fixes ---

While: ./configure --prefix=/home/gelderk
Problem: could not find gnomeConf.sh,
Solution: had to be made for gnome-libs. Failed to compile, due to illegal sed
 commands (s,,, replaced by s!!! at the end of gnome-libs/Makefile.in).
 (should I supply a diff?)

While: `gmake`
Problem: libtool (as well as for gnome-libs)
Solution: replace "printf %s\n" by "echo"; or in ltconfig add a line for 
 checking $echo, somehow it goes wrong when assigning to the env.var.

While: `gmake`
Problem: need zlib.h
Solution: http://www.gzip.org/zlib-1.1.3.tar.gz

While: `gmake`
Problem: doesn't include -lz for linking gnome-core/gnome-help-browser
Solution: compile by hand (reconfigure did _not_ help)

While: `gmake panel`
Problem: can not apply sed
Solution: same as for gnomeConf.sh, see above (yes, there are commas in the
 linking options: "-Wl,-E" most of the time).

While: `gmake` in control-center
Problem: sed
Solution: see above

Compiled!
Installed!

While: running `panel`
Problem: /usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __main (code)  from panel
 $ nm panel | grep __main
 __main              |          |undef |code   |
 __main              |     72496|uext  |stub   |
Solution: Dunno. link statically?

Furthermore:
 - I get a gnome-terminal running, can change its config and so on,
   but it does not run a shell or anything.
 - gnome-session can not find anything working, but it warns me about
   that and does not crash :-)
 - gnomecc actually could tell my keyboard and mouse how to behave!
