[Igor Gueths]

into problems right now with building Atk and telling it where to find
Glib. After that I think I should be fine in terms of building,
installing, and running Gnome properly. Yes your rasons are similar
Scott...Trying to get my girlfriend using Linux on a Gui, so I figured
Gnome was the best place to start. Thankfully I just got the Xserver
running showing a gray screen. Right now its nothing but that's going to
soon be changed.
