Thanks for you comments, your points are the same as I thought when
I've started the backport. However it now seems to me that the pros of
having Gnome 2.18 are not that many, as after all we didn't get a
single bug report specific to Gnome 2.14, and apparently the new
features are of minor importance for us. So probably keeping gnome
2.14 and retaining full compatibility with debian etch is still a
better move.

Ciao!
