gnome apps

[Jérôme Guelfucci]

This has been discussed between the active members of the Xubuntu
Team. Answers to your various questions:

- we don't have special patches for this, patches have already been
pushed upstream and we are just using different build options.
- if we find the time to maintain it, why should you all care ?
- it makes the desktop lighter, and we don't miss any key feature

And finally, I don't see why this is a problem, if you really care
about this, come and contribute more :)

Bye,

Jérôme
