Oh no, brace yourself for another release of that set of disparate things
that belong nowhere else, now with fewer crashes and few more features to
boot.

What is gnome-utils?  Well as the name would suggest these are GNOME
utilities.  They're the stupid little programs that are part of every
desktop.  And some that aren't part of every desktop.

Hopefully over the next few months there will be some UI cleanup of things
and some new useful proggies added, there are many things that we are still
missing in terms of stupid little utilities.  So everyone think of them and
get coding ...
