various pieces of nargery

I didn’t get the 2.22 release of Metacity out of the door last night because I couldn’t get it to build on my build setup (due to Cairo ABI changes), and releasing something I haven’t tested isn’t really on the cards. I will attempt to get a more current jhbuild working and see whether I can get a 2.22 series release out soon. Sorry :( I still don’t know why 2.23.x should build fine on the setup where 2.22.x fails.

There is a 2.23.21 release, though, with a lot of fun stuff; release notes should be coming through on g-a-l any moment now.

I have been talking to people about merging FUSA with the fork of FUSA which the GDM people made back in March, so that their version of FUSA is then the canonical one. An objection has been raised that this will make it harder in the future if we want FUSA to talk to KDM or whatever as well.

Does anyone know a way of including boilerplate blocks of text in *.schemas.in so they get translated? Obviously I could use entities or something, but I don’t know whether i18n works okay with those.

Andrew Tanenbaum made an interesting (and commonplace, perhaps, but easily forgotten) point about political blogging and news; I’ve linked to it from this post which says which paragraph.
