One of the basic tenets of Ubuntu was that it ships with the latest
version of Gnome.  In fact, the release schedule of Oct/Apr was chosen
mainly based on the Gnome release schedule, to allow Ubuntu to be one of
the first distributions out the door with each new version of Gnome.

All that to say, Intrepid will ship with Gnome 2.24, so if this plugin
makes it into Gnome 2.24 it will be in Intrepid.

Personally, following the Evo mailing lists, I'm not confident that this
plugin WILL be ready for 2.24 (note that it relies on libraries provided
by the Samba folks, so it's not all up to Gnome devs).  But, you never
know!
