 Nope, because in that case I should be filling a bug against libgnome
 or something like that, which is the library that's actually
 interfacing with the (non-existent) gnome-settings-daemon.

 Believe me: Epiphany is doing what the documentation says it should be
 doing.  If I file a bug against Epiphany and Edd laughs his back off,
 he'd be right.

 *sigh*

 "We shoehorn GNOME 2.6 into Sarge no matter what".  Is that it?

 Go read the original bug report and tell me how a program disappearing
 from the PATH is not a packaging bug?

 I have no idea, sorry.  I actually remember a bunch of GNOME programs
 going down the drain.  (gnumeric for example)

 If you guys want GNOME 2.6 in Sarge so badly, you should at least try
 doing some upgrades from reasonably complex woody installation to sarge
 (+ GNOME 2.6).
