RHEL isn't really a desktop OS. It's catered more for servers. I have
to maintain 150+ of these as desktop/server machines and have to do
lots of compiling since RPMs don't exist or because it's easier to
maintain a centralized installation on an NFS server.
To be fair, they do still have the Desktop version available. As the
gotcha part of that, though, I think that RHEL on the desktop is
geared more toward the business envrionment, focusing on things like
office integration and virtualization.
You may have tried, but it may be worth checking the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Desktop channel to see if perhaps the required
packages have been built differently. Just a thought.
