Yes, libtiff-devel has been a dependency of gtk+ for years.

Yes, this was a recent dependency addition of libdaemon.

Would have been better to build the dbus bindings for python and make
sure they were installed correctly, but if this works for you...  :)

As I said in the other email, I think that moduleset is broken.
2.15.90 ought to be much nicer to you.  Besides, the 2.15.90 moduleset
is still being fixed.  In fact, I need to go bug some totem people
about a release for the moduleset...

I suck and have had about 0 time to review metacity patches; I've had
to apologize to several people about this over the last month and a
half.  You can try pinging Havoc, as it's possible that he might be
able to get to it before me.  I will get to it sooner or later if he
doesn't, though.  Sorry about the ridiculously long wait.
