Good evening,

I did some googling and came across a couple of cool enhancements for
GTK2/Gnome2.2 that caught my eye.  Alas, they were all x86, so I rebuilt =
the
RPM's, tested them (as in seems-to-work-nothing-obvious-got-broke ;), =
and
figured I'd put them up on my webspace.  Built for YDL 3.0 on a =
bone-stock
PowerMac PPC604/8600.  It'd be nice to hear if they work for others.

GTK2.2 Patch - Drop Shadows *and* Ximian Desktop 2 file selector.  These
hacks are really well-behaved and look fantastic, check out the =
screenshot!
The much-maligned gtk2 file selector looks 100% better IMHO.  The file
selector from Jaguar (via MOL) is shown for comparison's sake.

These packages "work for me" but if you have any problems let me know!  =
All
of them could definitely use more testing

Epiphany 0.8.4 -- Fast, lightweight browser, tightly integrated with =
Gnome
and replaces Galeon as the new 'Official' Gnome-Desktop browser.  =
Requires
Mozilla 1.4 RPM's from the Usual Sources.  http://epiphany.mozdev.org/ =

Rdesktop/TSClient - rdesktop allows you to connect to Windows Terminal
Servers.  This CVS version now has RDP5 support (haven't played with it) =
and
a lot of other enhancements over the 1.2 'release' rdesktop version.
TSClient is a GTK2 front-end for rdesktop.  Looks great, seems to play =
nice
with this CVS version of rdesktop.

Maybe I should find a HOWTO on rpm contribs and do this the right way :) =
