This is a tracker bug leading up to a possible gnome-2.6.3 meta release to ~arch. The actual meta ebuild to make changes to at this point is gnome-2.6.3_pre0 (in p.mask). Issues that should be fixed before creating a new meta release should be blocking this bug.
NOTE: Use nautilus-2.6.3-r1 in this meta bump, as it contains the "Option To Remove Volumes From The Desktop" patch. Do _not_ use 2.6.3 or earlier versions, only the revision, nautilus-2.6.3-r1.
NOTE: use gnome-terminal-2.6.1-r1 for the meta

Right, the only outstanding issues are: o) Gnometris on AMD64 (has patch) o) Gnome-Weather and UK (has patch) o) Esound issues - unresolved? The versions have been bumped to the latest stable as far as I can tell, so after we fix these three remaining bugs, we can move to ~arch. Hooray.
*gnometris : add the patch, we can't wait for the amd64 team forever & the patch was accepted upstream a while ago *gnome-weather : now later, though i think this shouldve been patched right away. Patch looks ok & adresses a real isssue. We should try and act faster on these sort of things. *esound : seems alls .35 related, push them forward to the ~ -> to stable release tracker, theyre not major & if there's no solution we can still drop the .35 dep for stable.
We're not going to get to this, punting open dependencies to 2.8.1.
