[tomboy-list] Fwd: Dropping tomboy from the CD at least for part of the oneiric cycle

[Sandy Armstrong]

This is not quite right.  He mentioned these dependencies:

libgnome, libgnomeui, libbonobo, libbonoboui, libgnomecanvas

I believe that all we have to do is switch from gconf to gsettings.
We don't need to port to gtk#3, which is a much bigger task.

So all we need to do is pick some gsettings bindings that work, use
them instead of gconf, and bundle them with Tomboy if they're not
ready to be released/packaged.
