PS: Don't get me wrong. Its not that I dislike gnome its only that
I don't use it (I prefer wmaker as windowmanager and I don't need
the remaining gnome functionality) and to install it for one single
app that needs it is... 
So gnome is nice but its pretty big and if you don't need it generally
you might dislike to install it.
