Gnome2 in Testing

[Christopher L. Everett]

Can anyone tell me if Gnome in Testing is anywhere near usable? I'm using sid, but frankly I'm being distracted from doing real work: I find both the Mozilla Navigator and Mozilla ThunderBird browsers pretty well unusable, & I'm having a hard time getting real work done--I think stepping back to Mozilla 1.0.0 would be a major improvement, I'm sorry to say. I'd even step down to Woody if I had to, except that Perl 5.8.0 and MySQL 4.0.13 are important to me.  The unofficial backports have sucked for me (especially with Mozilla), taking that route doesn't appeal.
