Sorry, thats not the complete truth. It also requires:
Gtkmm 2.4 and above.
LibGlademm 2.4 and above.
FlowCanvas

...which is only available on newer linux distributions. I once tried to 
compile up gtk 2.4, but I was unable because my glibc was too old. I only 
have rh8, and I don't think thats very uncommon.

Om has to work with older versions of gtk to get more users. Until then, 
I don't think this software has really come out of the beta-stage yet.
