That's bad, why did you do that? If you mess with your install in such ways, don't be surprised if you run into trouble. Though in this case I don't see anything that should break directly by it, but it's still a bad idea. > quit and restarted XDarwin, but I don't see any GNOME utilities or >the control-center. They won't appear magically. You have to start e.g. control center. Alternatively you could modify your ~/.xinitc to run gnome-session whenever you start X11. To do so, add this as the last line of your .xinitrc: exec gnome-session > They are, however, in the /sw/share folder.

You are not telling us what command you entered, but it seems it wasn't the command to reinstall a package, which is (big surprised) "reinstall. So, "fink reinstall gnome-core" if you want to reinstall gnome-core. But control-center is in the "control-center" package. If you want most of gnome, I'd recommend you to install the "bundle-gnome" package.
