crash in latest guile-gnome

[gregory benison]

In guile-gnome 2.15.95 or 2.15.96 (but not 2.15.92) -

If guile was configured with the '--disable-networking' option-

(use-modules (gnome gobject generics))

fails to load because the root module does not contain a binding for 'connect'.

I suggest the following patch -
