So far (other than CDE vs whatever) that's what I've seen.  But I have
already run into a problem compiling 3.05.  I've only briefly scanned
the list archives, so perhaps this has already been answered, but I get
an error in print.c regarding libgimp/gimpintl.h missing. I did a find
from / and it isn't anywhere.  I have 1.04 installed.  Is this a new
file or is something else going on?

Unfortunately, only at work on a classified net, with no outside
connection.  Xdr should solve that problem, but it does slow things
down. I can't yet afford one for home use :(

Not really, but the homebrew does get a high priority :)
