I've actually had very little problem compiling GNOME ... getting the damned
thing to work properly is another story.

I hate hate hate their shared library nomenclature conventions.  There is
_nothing_ wrong with the classical libname.so.major.minor.tiny, especially
when used in conjunction with -Wl,soname.

About the only thing that GNOME has ever done for me was to provide a test
case for a malloc problem in (then xf86-3.9.16) libICE.
