Hi mfv,

I am reverted and re-applied your documentation patch, this time with
the correct attribution and pushed it ... apologies.

As I said in my quick mail on Friday, I am not familiar with the rpath
issue and have only just started reading up on it. Can you paste in the
lintian errors and explain a little further please. I have become a
little more familiar with ubuntu packaging process but not really its or
debian's finer points.

For clarification:
- All my computers are i386;
- I develop on Mandriva Spring 2010;
- I have build servers running under hudson for:
  * Fedora 14;
  * Fedora 15;
  * Ubuntu Natty
- The build servers target the most familiar (to me) binary packaging
systems - deb and rpm.

So, if you can explain further, I am more than happy to fix whatever I
can. This is definitely the right time since I am bug fixing for
	- 2.0.2: gtk2 stream;
	- 2.1.0: gtk3 and anjuta3 stream.

Many thanks
