An Eternal Quest for Incremental Improvement
I am in the process of building Gnome 2.10 from source code on my Ubuntu

missing libnss-dev
package and I took a long time to figure it ...
A very nice tutorial "Developing with Gnome" is available at newren's site. There is a chapter which gives detailed instructions on how to build Gnome from CVS.
