As a meddling maintainer, I've had a checkout of pangocairo-branch  
running for a couple months. There has been a lot of work done  
getting it ready, especially since mid-summer. I don't use a lot of  
gnome, but most of the pieces I do use are in pretty good shape.

gtkprint does not play nice with Apple's cups, but there is a  
workaround that leaves paper production no worse off than it is now.  
I should know by tomorrow afternoon whether Leopard's cups 1.3 solves  
that problem.

Yelp 2.20 seems busted totally. But that looks like upstream to me.

On the bright side, gnucash 2.2.1 and gnumeric 1.7.12 work well.

The massive upgrade from gnome 2.6.whatever to 2.20 really is close  
to reality.

Many thanks to RangerRick for even agreeing to take this task on,  
given the rest of his work load. And more thanks for the work that he  
has finished, even though it isn't quite visible yet.
