Hey!
The dependency problems are no big deal... Things still work. What's more painful is
the bugs relating to the desktop icons and launchers. I found downgrading to the
original Mandrake 7.0 gmc fixes lots of problems with helix gnome. In other words,
don't use helix code's gmc, use gnome's original...
cheers!
