That is interesting.  I hesitate to use a complete unstable GNOME
though.  I wonder if I could open that repo and just install gtk3 and
then back down to stable.  I'm a bit checken when it comes to trying a
complete unstable distro as I got royally burned when trying Debian
unstable a while back.  I don't mind using orca from git but when I
have to start using devl builds of a bunch of other GNOME packages,
that's when my anxiety level goes way up <smile>.  When I looked in
the standard gnome archives this morning for gtk+, I only saw 3.1.12
as the latest but a git clone revieled to me version 3.1.18 or more.
You mean to tell me that six version numbers have gone by and none are
in anything other than a git mode?
