It's unusual for Debian to include non-bugfix patches in packages without very good reason. It's also very unusual for GNOME to include non-bugfix patches in stable series releases without very good reason. This discipline greatly benefits stability, so it's worth following. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ "Of course i can see iso-8859-1 characters, I'm French." - Christian Marillat
