+=====================================================================================
+Version: 1.9.17
+Patch Version: 00
+Script Date:  2013-12-02
+-----------------------------------
+Changes:
+-----------------------------------
+New version, new tarball. Fixed new gnome change, they, of course, removed gnome-about
+and so version numbers failed. Now first trying gnome-session to get version number.
+
+Also, there's a bug in at least gtk detection in opensuse, not sure what it is, they could
+be using a different syntax for the test:
+pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0
+
+returns no such package on gnome 3.10 installs, but I have no idea what package name to
+test for there in this case.
+
+So leaving gtk version bugs unhandled due to no user information or feedback, if you want
+it fixed or if it works for your distro, let me know and also if it does not work, tell
+me the correct commmand, with its output, to get gtk version.
+
+That's for inxi -Sx output that is.
