Log of successful upgrade of GNOME 2.6.x to 2.8

[Bob McDonald]

Thanks for responding.  As I said in my original email, I did succeed in
upgrading.  I was able to resolve the problems I encountered and listed
on my original email, including the ones for which you provided
suggestions.  The steps I took to resolve them are included in the
upgrade log I posted to my web site, the URL or which appears in my
original email.
