Sure.

OTOH, I will need at least one week to review the stuff pending.  I hope
to start this work this weekend.

@Charles, have you checked whether there are interesting gnome package
updates?  Especially GTK+, ORBit2 and other such base packages may have
fixed some of the bugs happening on Windows.

@Nathan, do you think we can release 2.2.7 on the next but one weekend,
i.e. 30th/31st of August.  Also, is there a way to set up regular builds
from branches/2.2 so that volunteers may test before we release?
(Windows builds are still more complicated than Unix ones).

Ciao,
