Well, the first thing is, that it gives an error message when
the app is started, as I don't have esd running. But this is
no the major point.

The project I'm working on requires that the final binaries run
on any (intel-)Linux box. So static linking will be done in
the very end. The decision to use Gnome has been made because
the concept is good and lot's of the required code is already there.
Integration in the Gnome desktop is only a very minor issue.

If we need a special compiled version of the libs, than I'll
build one, I just thought that there may be an easier (and cleaner)
solution...

Thanks,
