	Yeah, I know - honest ! :-) I didn't do it lightly:

  + I consider it to fall into both the categoies of "typos" and 
    "EVIDENCE OF EVIL".

  + I sent a mail as I committed to gnome-web-list, maybe it wasn't
    received. Attaching now.

  + I was genuinely more concerned about getting this off the website
    than steping on people's toes.

	That was probably an overreaction and I should have waited. Sorry guys
...

Cheers,
Mark.

Hey,
	Hmm. What a title to have on www.gnome.org! All the people who work on
GNOME on *BSD, Solaris, AIX, etc.? And the whole GNOME/Linux thing? We
don't want to open that can of worms, surely?

	So, I've committed the patch below. Flame me or whatever for committing
an unapproved change but I thought the quicker it was out of the public
eye, the better ...

Thanks,
Mark.
