it seems like revelation won't compile if gnome3 is installed.
arch linux switched over to gnome 3 as default and even if i don't use gnome 3 (using xfce) i can't compile revelation. if i am correct, then applets are removed in gnome 3 for gnome shell. maybe it shouldn't be so hard to remove the applets? as it seems to be a side feature and i would love to keep revelation even without gnome.
configure ends up this:
#!configure
checking python module gnome... yes
checking python module gnomeapplet... no
configure: error: failed to find module gnomeapplet
this should effect quite a few people as i saw it after some google searching. seems similar on gentoo:

would love to see a fix soon since i got all my passwords stored in revelation and i can't find any better password manager.
