GNOME is rather mangled in program dependencies and I have found that removing something often has rather disastrous effects on the rest. I have not quite decided on a strategy yet for pulling the earlier rpms but I am definitely not going to overwrite stuff. I tried that last time and gnome and glib/gtk got rather dirty. I would carefully plan on how to remove what you have done previously. GNOME is quite nice but the level of dependency is quite heavy. One thing noted on this list is that the programs that were done previously had different names and that this did not bode well with the rpms that suse has done. This makes the problems a lot more complex since we cannot use the programs themselves but have to decide whether to abandon the functioning or not-functioning gnome we already have. Just a cautionary note. -- Michael E.
