Hehe, I never have seen how Gnome ports looked like before Joe started work 
with it. I was never fan of Gnome nor KDE, until Gnome 2.1.x has hitted me. 
:-) But, indeed, Joe has done awful a lot of stuff by hisself mostly and 
solve stuff very quickly!

Indeed! Thanks Joe! /me sends Joe more beers! ;-)

Sounds good, I will vote it.

Cheers,
