Fixed.


GNOME category:

Yes, sounds reasonable to me.  Ask the maintainer...


SQLite:

Yes, can both be installed. Must do it like with BDB2/3/4 then because
of the headers and import libs, but it works.  Jari replied, I sent my
pactches.  Is sqlite2 required for libgda or does it work with sqlite3
too?  If not we should skip sqlite2.

Yes, ok, will do so.


Nautilus:

Nautilus 2.4 was different, they use now gnome-vfs stuff to get the
available mounts, probably the fix needs to be placed in gnome-vfs.


BUGS:

We don't introduce bugs, do we?
