I haven't looked at the Gnome [or KDE] code (not that brave!)
but sometimes when I use a gnome* app, I'll see several
lines printed to stderr about some missing Gnome functions.
The errs scream at you ALL IN CAPS :-)
The strange thing is that this is not consistant; so perhaps
some of the better hackers take into consideration thosde of
