It's where we discussed and decided that the current G2 target is
RHEL3/FC1.  We might change that to EL4/FC3 considering that EL4 has
been released and we WILL probably have another 6 months until FCS
with the G2 branch...

Indeed.  FC3 and RHEL4 has Gnome-2.6 / Gtk-2.4... Sort of.  Actually
they have libgnome-2.8 but gtk2-2.4.

the same. :)

I just decided to fix it myself last night.
