The version error I agree is not a big thing. I only discovered it when I was trying to discover why the gnome-network-manager that worked (yes I tested it) on the beta and release candidates of gnome 14.04 worked but on the released version don't. Actually there is a long list of things that worked on candidates of genome 14.04 but don't in the full release. What I find most is that the bugs that are confirmed and marked as high priority affecting multiple users have no developer assigned to look at them after 2 weeks.
Given that gnome 13.10 updates end in the next few weeks it does cause some concern.
