Yes, since I'm quite used to 4.10 from fedora, I tried building it myself,
but gave up around the gir hell. Rebuilding glib2 is fine, but rebuilding
half of gtk2 stack because of gir is plain pain in the a.s. Would be nice
thought to raise that question again if rhel 6.5 sees an update to these
components, which I don't know (is there a release date yet for rhel 6.5?).

On that note, have I just missed it in the repos or are the places panel
plugin and keyboard switch plugin missing in epel? I got ibus working but it
can switch only between English and Japanese, but I also need an easy and
quick way to switch to and from Czech keyboard layout.

Thanks,
Martin

PS: Sorry for thread hijack, I'm kinda too tired to start a new one.
