Sync with gnome releases

[Linas Vepstas]

I think that emails like the below offer a cautionary tale about failing 
to sync up to gnome releases.  As things currently stand, we have to deal 
with twice as many RPM's: those built with pre-gnome-1.4 libraries, and
those built with post-gnome-1.4 libraries.  If we sync'ed up, then maybe 
we could avoid some of this .... just an idea ...
