ALCON: Here is the brief overview of the gnome-applet problem and how I am attempting to fix it: gnome-applets 2.12.x does not build, requiring a missing header from an earlier version of libxklavier or libgnomekbd. libxklavier can not be back-ported or the control-center port would break. both libgnomekbd and gnome-applets 2.14.x/2.16.x require a modern working dbus port, which I am working with the upstream dbus maintainers to get. Long term fix is to get the current (1.0.x) dbus packages running correctly in Mac OS X. A short-term fix would be to develop a libxklavier 2.2 port that does not conflict with libxklavier 3.x and then include configure arguments in gnome-applets 2.12.x that point to that version.
