Can you build the wayland stuff as part of GTK+, colord, etc? Lots of stuff that I need for GNOME is built in to GTK3 and causes problems on occasion. I haven't even set things back up at home. I pulled 3 all nighters in a row trying to get my development system up to get postfix updated. I'm a bit burnt out. I can do it in like 12 hours. I need to sleep for a *long* time first. Thank you, Douglas R. Reno
