but nothing in your prior post indicated if there were problems with that or not, just that that library had not yet been accepted.

I'd have thought the chief concern wouldn't be that Ubuntu may use a component that isn't a part of standard Gnome (and KDE) but that they are trying to encourage developers to avoid a cross desktop standard component that is.

Aside from the effect on their own desktop, if successful that effort threatens to reduce the use of a very nice standard for everyone else.
