You did not read the mail carefully enough. :)

OK. So you cleaned desktop/.

In that case, what you did is not sufficient. While running 'make
install' in the desktop/ dir will build and install all Desktop apps
*including* all their dependencies, 'make clean' does *not* include the
deps. To build gnome-session you need GTK+. However, to clean it, you do
not need a clean GTK+ as well...

Running 'make clean' in the GARNOME build root dir (rather than a
particular subdirectory like desktop/) will do this. This will clean
desktop/ just as well as all the other built garballs like the necessary
dependencies in platform/, freedesktop/, etc.

However, please note that this will *not* include bootstrap/, which is
being excluded always. In addition to running 'make clean' in the build
root dir you need to 'cd bootstrap/' and 'make clean' in there as well.

Also, I strongly recommend to either remove the previous install, or to
use a different $prefix to install to when starting fresh.

Sure. :)  Simply removing the entire build tree and extracting the
tarball would do. After all, this is the very definition of "as if I had
just downloaded the tarball"...
