Well, that's fine, because I originally fixed the bug in gnome 1.0.7
and then moved up to CVS.  I should be able to build okay out of the
1.0 CVS tree, it was the 1.1 that was causing problems with newer

Hrmm, maybe I'll just set up a second system to do Gnome development
on then; when I get into 1.1 dev that is.
