Fink's gnome environment is a mixture of 2.6, 2.10, and 2.12. Many
many things changed during this huge version jump, and several things
are not working properly yet:( The Applications menu is broken because
gnome and kde each try to install different forms of the same file to
define it. KDE got there first, so gnome can't install the file gnome
needs. The cleanest solution we've heard is to have KDE move its file
somewhere else so that gnome can install its own, but this hasn't
happened yet. Unfortunately, nobody here understands gnome well enough
to do the inverse solution (move gnome's file).
