The Peacock app doesn't work. If you press the "new document" icon, the app crashes (it does that for many months now, since new gtk/gnome lib versions).

Why don't you test stuff before releasing them?? I suggest removing Peacock altogether, it is not maintained. Instead, I would suggest you bring in Revelation, which is a worthwhile app and it doesn't have a similar app on the archlinux repositories.
This task depends upon

Fixed in testing for the new gtkhtml. The whole documentation and configure script doesn't talk about gtkhtml, so I didn't notice it had problems without it when I removed the dependency from it yesterday.

This package goes into testing together with gnome 2.10, otherwise I have to fix it twice since the gtkhtml 3.6 used by evolution is different than the one used in peacock.

I will consider revelation when I have time for it (gnome 2.10 and its bindings have higher priority, currently busy with the last packages and the bindings need several recompiles of packages that don't expect the python-gnome splitup.
