[Jasper Huijsmans]

Thanks a lot for testing this. I won't have time to really look at it
until tonight, but I'll give a few comments now.

Right, this was a guess ;-) The package depends on gthread, but it may
simply be part of glib-2. Can you look what package provides
/usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.so ?

Probably an error in Makefile.am

Error in Makefile.am or configure.ac, I think.

Error in Makefile.am, most likely.

All these I believe are problems with the 'make dist' target and I'll
have to go through the Makefile.am's to solve it. I will do so tonight.

I think only the xffm-icons package has a spec file. It would be nice if
the authors or some other volunteer could prepare the missing spec files
for these modules.

Thanks a lot for testing this,
