The problem is where distros (such as SuSE) install GNOME in it's own
prefix, rather than /usr - rpmmacros will specify %{_prefix} as /usr
because generally that is correct, but for GNOME apps & libs you want it
to be /opt/gnome. I think this is for adherence with the FHS, but I
need to double-check that. But anyway, was just a thought :)
