Install GNOME Desktop by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0` \
    --sysconfdir=/etc/gnome --localstatedir=/var/lib &&
make &&
make install

--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome: This switch puts configuration files in /etc/gnome instead of $GNOME_PREFIX/etc.

libgnome-desktop libraries contain APIs being tested for inclusion in libgnome or libgnomeui.

gnome-about produces the about screen.
