HI Paul-

I recently upgraded from the rpms at gnome.linuxpower.org which include a
control-center, gnome-libs, gnome-core, gmc/mc, gtk and glib.  I think that
the overall attractiveness of gnome has gone up significantly.  The icons
are quite pretty.  I use SawMill here and its nice to see the sawmill
configs show up in the desktop configuration app.

I dont know about the gnorpm thing though.  I have had to upgrade things
before when I upgraded gnorpm but I dont recall which ones at the moment.

Overall, nice to see gnome at this level.  Nice work everyone!!
