Changes to the GNOME stack require some changes that are almost
equivalent to rebuilding the world, I=E2=80=99m afraid.  There are changes =
to
dependencies of GTK+ and Pango, which result in more than 2400 rebuilds.

I have started making these changes on top of core-updates.  Once I=E2=80=
=99m
done I can push them to a separate branch that could later be merged
into core-updates.
