Gnome is not complete, there are missing lot of basic parts.  Currently
we try to update to Gnome 2.10., however there are so much packages and
only two maintainer (volunteeers with package building experience
needed!).  Unfortunatley the desktop 2.10. is not ready to release, as
long as I cannot start it myseklf it woud be not right to upload the
packages.
