OK, here is a more credible list of offenders.  Several critical
packages are affected.  I already filed patches for gnumeric and
evolution, so those you don't need to worry about (I listed them for
completeness below).  List of all other affected packages:

	dia
	gnome-iconedit
	gnome-media
	gnumeric
	libgda2
	libgnomedb
	libgsm
	libtk-perl
	metacity-setup
	rep-gtk
	vlc

libgtk-perl looks to be in particularly bad shape.  Perhaps nobody
cares about that one.  libgda2, libgnomedb, metacity-setup, rep-gtk
seem fairly fundamental, on the other hand.
