Upcoming Gnome Release

I wanted to get everyones thoughts about something here just so that I
can cover every angle with this.  With the upcoming Gnome 2.6 release I
have moved everything back to /usr from /opt/lunar/gnome for those who
dont know.  Now there have been problems with some modules when moved
from /opt to /usr not compiling because its looking for something that
was in /opt/lunar/gnome/ but is not in /usr.  The only way that I can
found to solve any issues with upgrading is to remove
the /opt/lunar/gnome directory completly then update all the Gnome
modules.  If the directory is removed then things will build just fine
with no problems. 

Now only problem with that is do we delete an entire directory off of
everyones computer??  How should this be handled??  I want to try to
keep the move as low key as possible.  Only way I can see this working
is if we delete the entire /opt/lunar/gnome directory is to manually
force and update of every module that was installed to that directory,
so that we make sure that all the modules him/her had installed
to /opt/lunar/gnome will get recompiled into /usr.  Everyones ideas and
thoughts on this would be helpful and appreciated.  

Thanks

Nick
