	I tried, indeed. First time I ran into dependencies problems (asked for
GKT+2.4.0) I got it from sources and compiled successfully, then
./configur-ing stuffs who ask for GTK+2.4 or better were complaining
that GTK 2.4 was found but RPM database (or something similiar) said 2.2
was installed or something...It also said that running ldconfig may
help. It didnt. I abandonned :( I would *gladly* enslave this computer
for compiling purpose (Seti@Home style...) since I still can use it even
when 'make' is running... Then, all that I'd need to learn is how to
provide properly-made RPMs and have them posted on freshrpms. My best
bet would be to get up-to-date with those libs (GTK+, gcc, rpm....) then
go for the bigger ones like KDE, GNOME, XFree86...)

	Im up for some action! Come on! Lets make this doggy shine even more!
