The GNOME development community has announced the official release of version 2.22 after six months of development. GNOME is an open-source desktop environment that supplies a complete user interface and an assortment of programs for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. GNOME 2.22 includes some important new architectural features and a handful of significant new programs. Among the most important enhancements in GNOME 2.22 are the GVFS virtual file system framework, which brings improved network transparency to GNOME desktop applications, and the PolicyKit framework, which provides improved support for secure privilege elevation.

It is always nice to see new GNOME releases. I have been using GNOME since 2.10 and the improvements although smooth and subtle have been significant. *Especially in performance*.
GNOME 2.20 / GTK+ 2.10 apps seem just as snappy as Qt4 counterparts to me. I think the improvements in the Cairo library have greatly helped there.
