That's really too bad too.  I gave up on dropline gnome last year
because they lagged so far behind.  I've been a slackware for many
years and generally loved it for its basic simplicity and ease at
getting under the hood so to speak.  So I went and tried Debian.  I
like its package management and dependency tracking and all but this
gnome thing really disappointments me.  You would think that going
unstable would get you the supposed latest versions but alas they are
sitting on what is now an older version of gnome.  I understand a lot
of our accessibility enhancements depend on having the latest gnome
version and Debian package managers who don't like 2.24 are holding
Deb users back in this regard.  I'm not in a mood to do yet another
re-install of linux to switch to Solarus or Ubuntu.  I would just hope
they get a move on with Debian and get gnome up to date.
