It's about 4-8 days of work (being conservative) but I'm not sure it's
done before in a few months. It seems that most GNOME vendors definitely
want something like this though so it's going to happen one way or
another.  

Btw, this little project is a great way to get involved into the free
software hacking so if there are any aspiring GNOME / freedesktop.org
hackers out there send mail and patches to utopia-list at gnome.org and
we'll try the best to guide you through this :-)
