Have built, and am uploading ULB GNOME 2.8.0.1. It's a brown paper bag release that I'm not bothering to code name (call it the "Release With No Name" if you like). Changes from 2.8.0 are:

• Tidy up ULB supplied Panel menu entries
• Updated gnome-panel to 2.8.0.1
• Updated GDM to 2.6.0.5, and made it use the same GTK+ theme by default as ULB GNOME. Also, include the SuSE theme that is removed by installing ULB GNOME - allowing people to use that if they so desire.

Have also updated control-center2 to include a menu entry for the control centre itself, in the Preferences submenu. But, it doesn't seem to work. Trying to figure out why. Watch this space.

Amanda's on her way up for the weekend - yay!

Update: Control Center menu entry issue resolved - rebuilding and will upload shortly.

Wow, seems that Kerry kicked Bush's behind in the debate. I didn't manage to see it, but judging from comments posted on the BBC site, even Republicans in the south found Kerry to be a better choice as President based on the debate. My favorite comment was this:

"Anyone who watched the debate and thinks the Bush-Kerry debate was a draw or that Kerry didn't win hands-down probably still believes there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that Saddam Hussein had a part in 9/11, and that Santa Claus really does exist. Kerry was by far the winner. Coherent, clear, convincing, next to Bush's boring repetition of cliché, after cliché, after cliché."
