Please don't do anything to the gnome sections as I am updating to the
2.16.0 release.

Okay, I hope everything is in that's going to be in cause I've got
some issues and fixes...

1) missing dependencies
seems gnome-system-tools needs liboobs
dmlb2000@dmlb2006:/var/log/sorcery/compile$ bzgrep -c liboobs ./* |
awk -F: '$2 !~ /0/ { print $1 }'
./gnome-system-tools-2.15.2.bz2
./liboobs-0.2.0.bz2
dmlb2000@dmlb2006:/var/log/sorcery/compile$

Also I thought (correct me if I'm wrong) the 2.<odd-number> is the
test versions of the gnome packages where the even numbers are the
release versions, is there going to be an update for
gnome-system-tools to an even number or is this it?

2) zenity and libnotify
On the main link for the zenity executable for some reason it didn't
have the -lnotify and I got a missing symbol and it errored out. The
missing symbol was 'notify_notification_new_with_status_icon' a
function located in libnotify, I recompiled libnotify and it was fine.
I'm guessing it was something the matter with the libnotify.pc file,
not sure though.

3) gecko issues
seems we have a need now to have both firefox and mozilla installed
for gnome desktop systems.
dmlb2000@dmlb2006:/var/state/sorcery$ grep GECKO depends
devhelp:mozilla(GECKO):on:required::
mplayerplug-in:firefox(GECKO):on:required::
gecko-sharp-2:mozilla(GECKO):on:required::
galeon2:mozilla(GECKO):on:required::
gnome-python-extras:mozilla(GECKO):on:optional::
librsvg2:mozilla(GECKO):on:optional:--enable-mozilla-plugin:--disable-mozilla-plugin
epiphany:firefox(GECKO):on:required::
epiphany-extensions:firefox(GECKO):on:required::
totem:mozilla(GECKO):on:optional:--enable-mozilla:--disable-mozilla
yelp:firefox(GECKO):on:required::
dmlb2000@dmlb2006:/var/state/sorcery$

The depends that I'm wondering about are yelp, epiphany and totem
seems the other providers of GECKO don't work so we can't have a
system with firefox xor mozilla installed and have gnome2-profile
installed. Totem is no longer an optional depends for some GECKO
either. I'm wondering if there are updated versions of one of these
packages that uses the newer gecko so we don't have these problems.

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong on anything here.
