Missed this in my last reply.  I actually hadn't noticed that the
directories were created.  I have the following from the proposed build
method:

dj [ ~ ]$ ls /opt/gnome-2.28.2/lib/gnome-2.28.2/*/ -d
/opt/gnome-2.28.2/lib/gnome-2.28.2/file-roller/
/opt/gnome-2.28.2/lib/gnome-2.28.2/gedit-2/
/opt/gnome-2.28.2/lib/gnome-2.28.2/gnome-screensaver/
/opt/gnome-2.28.2/lib/gnome-2.28.2/totem/

That is sloppier than I had intended it to be.  Guess I was only
verifying that "lib/gnome-2.28.2" was in the list of installed files.

Absolutely.  I would like to get everyone's opinion who have built a
recent Gnome in an alternate prefix before.  Is the change more trouble
than it is worth?  From the editors' POV, is simplifying the commands
and explanations worth it anyway?  Upstream is already working with us
to some extent.

GSD did, and I think we might have something on all three of the GDM
issues (same developer picked them up), only one is my suggestion (GSD's
libexecdir), but a CK library, and possibly setting at runtime for the
location of the X server as well as a configure switch look to be
slotted.  The gio modules dir in gvfs looks to be a dead end, but at
least the correct fix is easy enough (and already done).
