Sure, if you can get it to work, go ahead. I gave up after struggling
with gnome-sesssion for a day or two, but that was months ago.

Do we need it on the 0.4 branch? Can we just switch our moduleset to use
head? Do you know what is targeted for gnome-2.24?

(we already have mission-control cut-and-pasted into online-desktop
modules)

If you make the switch to 2.24, you might want to see what parts of the
empathy/telepathy cut-and-paste into online-desktop.modules can be
removed.
