My initial feeling is that I'd like them on separate pages to avoid cluttering one page. But... > Let's see if others have comments.

Most of the GNOME packages want dbus-glib in addition to dbus, just like kdebase wants dbus-qt3 in addition to dbus.

Firefox and T-Bird, as well? :-) I'm not real proud of that situation :) As a stopgap, I think I'll just try to get versions 1.5.10 into the book so that we stop having apps with security holes. I know people really want to see firefox-2, but my plate is full.
