I guess I'll find out later tonight, but its good to be prepared. Gnomemeeting should not be a problem in this regard. It has also been pulled from the standard gnome2 meta-port, so building gnome2 won't even try to build gnomemeeting. Unfortunately, I use GnomeMeeting, so I am hoping to get a chance to work on getting pwlib and openh323 updated soon. (Not that I'll succeed, but, if I can point out specific problems to Roger H, I'm hoping he can point me in the right direction.) -- R.
