Afraid, we have a last major overhead for GNOME coming in this fall. We  
are removing a lot of patches of share/gnome/, so we are going to leave  
all of GNOME's tarballs vanilla at most. The result will be share/gnome/  
-> share/. This one will helping us to get a few more years unless xorg  
or/and GNOME developers do some big changes. ;-)
