Re: [orca-list] gnome-panel and notification area madness

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

What is the prefered way of obtaining the latest gnome release? If I just 
do:
% apt-get update
% apt-get upgrade

will this install the latest and greatest gnome stuff, or do I need to add 
some specific repositories to my sources.list file?

Thanx much...
