I would also recommend using the latest nova CVS. However, there is one
major annoying problem:- Nova now depends on Gtk2.7.0 (for Cairo) and
Gtk 2.7 will break Firefox(and Anjuta). There is a workaround for
Firefox, but it's probably best to wait for Gtk2.7.1.(or better still
Gtk2.8 (stable) is released in August)

I'm also about to start integrating libncat (http://libnovacat.sf.net)
into cvs. This means no more downloading of catalogs.

There will be a new release when Gtk 2.8 is out.
