[opensuse-gnome] G:Ayatana - a brief update

Hi all, As some people are aware, the base dependencies for Unity and everything around it were already submitted to G:Ayatana. Since GNOME2's future is uncertain, it would be waste to drop all those cute packages and hacks that grinding my mind for countless hours (also the tools that served a cool objective, my learning curve with RPM building and OBS). So even if they useless, I am pretty much pleased with everything I got out of this. I've decided to drop Unity some time ago waiting for better days (hopefully will come when Canonical migrates their stuff to GTK3). Meanwhile I've pretty much prepared Unity-2D, there's a few glitches, sure... but they will be fixed soon and I will submit the packages. Hopefully by 12.1 if I don't have Unity for a spin, I'll have Unity-2D which in my humble opinion is actually nicer and faster than it's big brother (probably less buggy and featured at moment too). No, it's not also a candidate to replace GNOME3, which was a very positive surprise. I'm polishing the stuff and see if I redo a few patches for cmake to upstream and will submit this packages after. Once they are submitted and since GNOME3 release was a success, I'll release the repository with a 1-Click installer for Unity-2D for 11.4 and hopefully 12.1 will bring the real thing, which I've discovered the bloody problem with nux (which shouldn't happen with GTK3).
