gnomevfs2 is ancient and deprecated. That's the reason it's not included
current ruby-gnome2. The file IO functions are handled by gio which is
packaged as ruby-gio2. This is the reason I started looking into newer
ruby-gnome2 in the first place.

As kindly pointed out by somebody on the gnome2 mailing list ruby-glade2
is dropped because it is replaced by builder (part of gtk2) which
processes XML files which can be created (or converted from glade files)
by recent versions of the glade UI editor. Example in
/usr/share/doc/libgtk2-ruby/examples/gtk-demo/builder.rb (or whatever is
the ruby-gtk2 package named on your system).

gconf2 should be the same as glade2 but I never used it so I have no
idea about that.

Thanks
