+<PRE>Whew!!!!
+
+Now for something substantive.... Here is what I found out packaging
+cinnamon, and the major bugs
+and issues..... Again, it's not ready for Mageia 3, but I'd like to
+get it into cauldron updates_testing
+so people can test it out..... Here are the major issues.
+
+1) IMHO, it's a lot nicer UI than Gnome 3. It's basically a more
+advanced, prettier Gnome 2, with
+a KDE-ish menu.
+
+2) It's actually pretty easy to drop in. There are three RPMS, and
+they just sit on top of Gnome 3.
+The dependencies are all one way (i.e. cinnamon depends on Gnome 3,
+but nothing depends on
+cinnamon) The hard part with dealing with the install was to get the
+startup commands right.
+
+3) There is unfortunately a big bug in that if you click on the menu
+on some platforms, it takes
+forever to start up. My guess is that there is an opengl issue in
+which some platforms use software
+rendering. That makes it unusable as an immediate replacement.
+
+4) It's possible to override the menu with alternatives menus, and
+it's a very open language for
+new themes and applets. Unfortunately, it's a real pain to install
+themes and applets. One thing
+that I was going to look into was to have a more standard installation
+mechanism.
