 Changes: Less flicker in graphic areas that remain somewhat constant. Pretty large visual improvements with many themes because of this. Added sorting to the theme dropdown list.

(Read the INSTALL file if problems occur)

RPM

rpm -Uvh gdancer-0.4.0-1.i386.rpm
That should do the trick. If gdancer complains about dependencies you'll have to download the rpms it wants and do the same routine to install them. The xmms RPMs can be found at http://www.xmms.org/.
