This broke OE-Core since gtk+ depends on pango, pango depends on gconf
and gconf depends on gtk+.

Why wasn't this tested? I can only assume there are things in meta-oe
masking pieces of OE-Core and this shows how harmful they can be. 

Since this was breaking things for pretty much everyone who does use
OE-Core, I pushed a patch changing pango to inherit gnomebase instead of
gnome.bbclass which resolves the circular dependency.

Cheers,

Richard
