[GNUz] GNOME on GNU/Hurd

[Timothy Musson]

>From this week's Debian newsletter[*]:

``Michael Banck managed[1] to get GNOME [to] compile and run on
GNU/Hurd, albeit with some caveats and loose ends, and also took a
screenshot[2].  Several packages had to be modified in order to make
them build, so that GNOME won't be uploaded for hurd-i386 soon, but the
general issues seem to have been solved. In related news, Qt is
running[3] fine on the Hurd as well, and volunteers are sought after for
porting KDE.''

IIRC, getting the 'banner' program to run was a big event just five or
six months ago! :)
