[PlanetCCRMA] fc6/7: new rt kernel; fc6/7: updated libgig

[Hector Centeno]

Hi Fernando,

I finally found what was making gnome-panel to freeze and surprisingly it
was Tomboy (the mono-based note taker applet). If I try to start it from
terminal the terminal freezes too and the same happens with the window that
opens when choosing "add to panel" from the right click menu on the panel.
With the f7 stock kernel works fine. Also I've been having lots of problems
trying to connect to my wireless network using the ipw3945 modules from the
ccrma repos. A third strange problem is that Firefox freezes with the rt
kernel and it's impossible to kill it.

Hector
