[ale] Monday morning sadistics

[Chris Woodruff]

Take a look at GARNOME for gnome.  http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/

It will download and build from the gnome CVS.  Also has a KDE script but
since I have not used it I cannot verify that it is updated and working.
But the gnome build was flawless but took 4-5 hours total.
