Thanks for the response Benny. I am having trouble building it from SVN. 
When I built 0.3.0 beta 1 a while back I had no problems.

When I ran autogen.sh on the svn checkout, it said I didn't have 
xfce4-dev-tools so checked that out from SVN and built and installed it 
with no problems.

I then re-ran autogen.sh, and it complained:

Not knowing what I am doing, I went ahead and ran configure which 
complained about not finding the exo-0.3 package. I re-ran configure 
with PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig and it ran without further 
errors.

Then when I ran make I got this:

Makefile:903: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Line 903 of the Makefile has only this:

@INTLTOOL_DESKTOP_RULE@

I'm stumped now. Something wrong with intltool, but not sure what to do.

Thanks again,

Bob S.
