Hello

In Fedora core 2 so do we have:
dbus-glib-0.20-4.1
dbus-x11-0.20-4.1
dbus-devel-0.20-4.1
dbus-0.20-4.1

But not the libhowl lib.


But it seems like howl-0.9.6 will be avalible in the upcoming Fedora 
core 3 relase.

So dbus is ok for the current Fedora core 2 and DBUS plus HOWL is ok for 
the next Fedora core 3 relase.


Cheers Johnny
