Thanks for your answer, do you think they are eventually going to
provide a patch for gnome 2.14, or do will they probably work on
2.16/2.18?

Well, it is "completely unusable to everyone" running amd64 :) So I
would say that this bug actually "makes the package in question
unusable or mostly so" on amd64, that means bug of severity grave on
amd64.

As amd64 is an arch officially supported by etch, a bug of severity
grave on amd64, is a bug of severity grave for etch, that means a RC
bug.

I'm not sure if my reasoning is correct, but if so we'd had a RC bug
in etch, and in a very visible point (users and service administration
under the GNOME Desktop). It should be really get fixed.

Ciao,
