embracing lenny

After a bitter experience of manually installing gtk+2, eventually I decided to use lenny distribution for upgrading my etch.
The manual installation was truly scary! compiling one by one the dependencies, and so does the installation using make. Finally my X11 was crashed and I must uninstall the library nervously hoping that everything going back well. A strange thing happened, I could log in as root, but not as regular user! I was really afraid that time, I was clueless since anything I did and read didn't solve the problem, until eventually a pointer telling about disk space solve it. Yes it was out of disk space in my /home directory.

Learning from that experience I tried to do the same using more integrated tools, synaptics. voila! I embrace Lenny, mixing the gnome and the mutant born, half etch and half lenny.

The most bitter thing is upgrading GTK2, which seems totally different from previous version.
