Hello,

fortuantely I did found a backport of all GNOME 2.2 stuff via
apt-get.org (its kind of "freshmeat" for the debian world").

If anyone is also looing for the backport for Debian stable/woody add
the following server to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/mirrors.evilgeniuses.org.uk/debian/backports/woody
gnome2.2/

If you'll download the libgnomeui-package it'll also download a whole
bunch of GNOME dependencies... Actually everything is running fine and
it won't break anything else in woody (from my experience with that
backport above)...

To only question i have now:

How may I DISABLE the AA-font-rendering of all the menues in
Pagestream. Maybe it's an general option for gnomeui (gnome2) apps -
as my GIMP is still using NO AA.
I do not like AntiAliasing at all (especially using TFT's): If you'll
use the correct display fonts you'll have a more clear rendering...

To grasshopperllc: Maybe you should add a statement about the usage of
GNOME-libs to the installation notes. IMO it will clear up those
problems i had.

Patrick, you've asked about Xandros? Well it's my favourite
distribution. After testing Redhat 8 and 9, SUSE 8.1, Lycoris, Knoppix
my last try was Xandros. Actually I love the all 'fine-tuning' they
did and the stability of Debian woody (including the really nice
apt-get
Actually Xandros seems to be 'old-fashioned' due its woody-base:
especially if it comes to desktops like KDE... on the other hand
they've annonced the upcomming upgrade-path to Xandors 1.1 and/or
2.0... Maybe have a look at:http://forums.xandros.com/
