[gnome-bluetooth] phonemanager on fedora/RH9 ?

[nosp]

I'm building phonemgr from source on Fedora Core (Test 3) and having one
major & one minor problem:

1) the compiled phonemgr doesn't want to start even though I definitely
have gnome-panel running:
---
$ ps -axuwww | grep gnome-panel
martin    7899  0.5  3.2 26720 16468 ?       S    01:56   0:01
gnome-panel --sm-config-prefix /gnome-panel-he2xCK/ --sm-client-id
[snip] --screen 0 --profile default
$ /usr/local/libexec/phonemgr-applet
(phonemgr-applet:8408): GConf-CRITICAL **: file gconf-client.c: line 546
(gconf_client_add_dir): assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)'
failed
---

2) ORBit-2 isn't detected correctly; looks like the CFLAGS from
orbit2-config are not being used.  Here's the error from configure:
---
checking for ORBit - version >= 2.3.0... no
*** Could not run ORBIT test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log
for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means ORBIT was incorrectly
installed*** or that you have moved ORBit since it was installed. In the
latter case, you*** may want to edit the orbit2-config script:
/usr/bin/orbit2-config
./configure: line 10071: ORBit-2.0: command not found
---

But I definitely have ORBit2 and orbit.h is in the right place; so I
changed configure:
--- configure.orig      2003-11-01 02:12:03.000000000 +0000
+++ configure   2003-11-01 02:12:06.000000000 +0000

       LIBS="$ORBIT_LIBS $LIBS"
       rm -f conf.orbittest
       if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then

and all was well (I believe).


I saw some posts on this list about this problem but none of the
solutions worked for me; has anyone got any suggestions for things to
try?
