Really? My GNOME apps built from 2 months (up to 2 hours) ago have been
working better as I run kernel+world nearer to the impending release.
What sorts of problems are you running into? Also, how old was your
kernel, and how old is your userland? With no more info, I'd prolly
advise you to update everything to the latest, and if problems persist,
rebuild your GNOME stuff, and if problems persist, throw exception...
But the latter bits of that are a bit drastic, depending on the hw!
