I am running the gnome overlay. I didn't know it had git inside. I am running git 1.7.7. The only packages that won't compile for me (caught by revdep-rebuild are gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1-r2 and totem-plparser-2-32.6). I believe these bugs are not related to the above. > Can you try to start GNOME with a clean config (no ~/.config, no > ~/.local, no ~/.gconf, no ~/.gnome*).

I don't have the extensions installed. thanks, allan
