If gnome-vfsmm is not installed, libgnomeui will fail during configuration.

UPDATE: It should be a runtime dependency, I believe, as ldd on my current (broken) version reports that it requires it.
nah this can't be true, post the output please. You don't happen to mean libgnomeuimm ?
Yes. That's exactly what I meant. You read my mind.

check the deps, they are there. depclean is trash, don't use it.
