At least for me, 3.7.2 exhibits crashes as the result of memory allocation
bugs which we found and fixed in the 3.8 development cycle. For this reason it
would be misleading to recommend 3.7.2 over 3.8 to anyone using a recent Baum
display, at least on x86_64 Linux.

As soon as anyone reports a bug, the first question will be whether it still
occurs under 3.8, so we might as well be recommending 3.8 in the first place.

Some have already been suggested; I would add gnome-accessibility as well.

Either include it, or provide a URI to the version that will appear on your
Web site.
