thats a pretty unfair statement ... gnome upstream decided to make the
v3 libs incompatible with the v2 ones, most packages that arent ported
to v3 cant even build from source (the above applet is among them).
there is *nothing* canonical can do. to my knowledge lionel never
worked for canonical and speaks for the xubuntu developer community
only ... please stop that canonical conspiracy nonsense, canonical has
nothing to do with upstream decisions here and can only react on a
technical level to them. if you want to know about such changes in
advance, read the respective upstream lists, blogs or blog aggregators
(planet.gnome.org for example). such things are also usually discussed
between upstream community and ubuntu developer community at UDS which
is publically held and where you can participate remotely via voip,
video streams, irc, collaborative editors etc ... 

there was nothing secret about this change nor was canonical involved
in any of the gnome decisions.
