- add more gtk2 ported apps ( suggested by users)
- add gnome development releases too unstable 
- build a script for all fifth toe release's

fix dependencies
e.g. pacman -S gdm is not enough to use gdm

I bought a dog the other day...I named him Stay. It's fun to call him...  "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just ignores me and drools.
