Më së fundi ja ku arrin edhe versioni ri i shumëpritur i Desktop GNOME 2.4.
Ja si hapet mesazhi me të cilin 'The GNOME Release Team' njofton lëshimin e këtij versioni:
"In the 13th century, a man called Temujin came to be known as Genghis Kahn, "Greatest of Rulers" and "Warrior of Warriors". By the time of his death, the Mongol empire extended from Hungary to Korea, and from Siberia to Tibet.
Often referred to as 'the Mongol hordes', and considered barbaric, his army was, in reality, a thoroughly modern military outfit in medieval times. They were swift, precise, equipped with superior technology, ingenious in their approach to war, keenly organised and consistently outnumbered - not that it detracted from their exploits on the battlefield.
These same qualities have been instrumental to GNOME's success. Our regular, high quality releases, speedy turnaround, fresh approach to Free Software usability and dynamic organisation have supercharged the project - you can sense the deep, personal pride in every aspect of our work, from the source code to the translations that make GNOME a comfortable home for our users all around the world."
