Re: building gnome-tweak-tool

[Seth Galitzer <sgsax ksu edu>]

I figured out how to change my moduleset to gnome-core and was able to 
build pycairo and pygobject.  I could then build gnome-tweak-tool.  To 
run it, I need to be in a jhbuild shell, but that's good enough for what 
I'm doing.

So if Ubunutu is bailing on gnome3, are there any good debian-based 
distros that are supporting it and worth switching to?  I'm not a big 
rpm fan, so I'd like to stay away from distros that use that.

Thanks for the tip.
