Distros will start shipping GNOME 2.6 shortly after it has been released and the release schedule for GNOME 2.6 says March 22nd. This date will have to be corrected due to the delayed GTK+-2.4 release but I think we can expect a GNOME 2.6 release in early April. Thus, we should face the fact that at least some distros will make their GIMP 2.0 packages depend on GTK+-2.4 and ship with these patches applied. Sven
