I've installed it too, and it's a very usefull addition, but first the
following bug needs to be solved:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-utils/+bug/163518
(The applications don't show up in the menu currently)

If gnome-utils is not to be included, I think Hardy should definitely
include at least a search tool and a screenshot tool.
