That's a pain.

Very easy. gmForms is "dead" code: the current client doesn't actually do 
anything with it.
I've removed the pointless import from gmEditArea, so it should work now.
When it does get used, those modules that require it will fail, but those that 
don't will still work.

Cheetah is written in python and fairly small. It may well be worth including 
it in
SuSE packages.
(IMHO the alternative to not using it is pretty much re-writing it ourselves 
anyway.)
