No only --prefixed them all. And yes i did it for all parts, but not into 
the same directory ..

well, yeah i did, but i thought gnome was more modular than that. The intention
of this way of compiling was to get individual parts of gnome (into an opt
system) so each part could be easily maintained ...

Ok, this was my conclusion but i was naive and thought gnome could be split up..

Congratulations my man, you can now buy a new car :)

Yeah probably this would be the best, but since i am a stubborn bastard, any
ideas on which part that can be kept separated ? gnome-* should probably be in
the same place, but what for the control-center for an instance ?

Im not sure they are desfribed in this way, or anyhows it doesnt (to my
knowledge) say that some parts have to be compiled with the same prefix .. 

Thanks tom ..
