I don't use evolution, so I will let someone to check on it.

The gnome-art is no longer maintain by the developers. :-/ But I can check  
and see if there is anything that I can do.

I can't reproduce it in both dummy account (fresh) and upgrade (with all  
old ~/.* stuff). Although, I don't have old ~/.* stuff anymore but it was  
what I have tested last time. We will need errors from the output.

Do you mean by in GNOME's menu? If you do, then I can't reproduce it. It  
is in Accessories -> Tomyboy Notes.

Noted, thanks!

I can reproduce it. Yelp is buggy, I will trying to dig in it to see if I  
can find anything. Yelp crashes in the exit too.

I don't use evolution, so I will let someone to check on it. Are you using  
amd64 by any chance? If you do, then it's kind of known issue as pav and  
ahze have reported that it's slow on amd64. But it works fine and fast in  
i386.

I will install and check it out.

Maybe it needs to be bump instead add it in UPDATING. You mean by OO.org2?

What do you mean by this? I can't read your mind. :-) The Fifth Toe should  
be at 2.20.0 and has a new dependency, gnome-devel-docs. But I noticed  
that I need to fix gnome-themes-extras dependency in there. As for the  
Power tools, it's same on 2.20.0 but I noticed that there is a bug that  
need to update epiphany's path. I will fix it.

Because it is not enable. :-) It is disable by default in the configure  
and it claimed that it is experimental. If you run 'make configure' and  
you will see this:

         [...]
         Spellchecker               : no (experimental)

I can add a knob option to allow you to enable it if you want me to.

It is supposed to be enable by default. What do you mean by broke?

/me glads to get more eyes. ;-)
