Regarding Gnome 2.10 using Firefox, i think your best bet would be waiting until YDL is using whatever Fedora version is using Gnome 2.x with Firefox. Or at least until their testing packages of Firefox become stable with version 4 (I'm totally guessing) AND it doesn't squash my wee little head OR cause hassles with installing into YDL. I'm guessing you're gonna get the same results using Mozilla as with Firefox, as I'm sure Firefox is essentially a small GUI & stuff around the same Gecko rendering engine. Ok, I'll shut up now. :)
As for the flame regarding KDE and Gnome, I totally agree with the fact that It's a choice through and through. But because of the large usage of their development libraries, you kind-of need to have both. For instance, I prefer Gnome. Most things I use are Gnome based. But I also use Kdar, which requires KDE. Just be thankful that YDL comes with both (I heard a major distro dropped one from their distro, but I can't remember details.) and you're just a "switchdesk gnome" or "switchdesk kde" or "yum install switchdesk-gui" away from choosing your default. And if you can't stand either, more choices are on the horizon. WindowMaker is already in YDL Extras Testing branch, and XFCE 4.2 is on my list of future submissions to the Extras.
Ok, I'll shut up again :)

Be nice... [:-)]
Life is about choices. You may configure whatever desktop suits your fancy. There are many desktops to choose from. GNOME and KDE are only two of the many choices.
For what it's worth... As reported earlier, I have successfully built KDE-3.4 using konstruct, the GAR framework for KDE.
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.4.php
KDE-3.4 is a large, complex desktop with lots of interesting toys. If there is to be a YDL-4.0.2 release before YDL-5.0 is released, I would like to see the version of KDE updated to 3.4.

Well, I'm sure we all know that KDE is a much better choice for an environment
then GNOME, especially if you want to be able to set defaults and/or restrict
access to things. :-)

GNOME-2.10.0.x can be configured to build against mozilla rather than firefox. However..., the gnomes [those wee folk that create the GNOME desktop ???] have moved on to firefox.

I'd have to try a RPM from Fedora's 3.90 testing build, as that has
Gnome 2.10 beta. If that doesn't work, I'm out; I'd have no idea as to
what goes where.

rpm -ql mozilla-devel
If you wish to build any other application that is based upon firefox,
e.g. epiphany-1.6, you will need the firefox equivalents of the include
files, libraries, etc. listed above. The current "stable" branch of
GNOME, 2.10.0.x, uses now uses firefox rather than mozilla.
The mozilla install on YDL contains:
mozilla-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-chat-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-devel-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-mail-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-nspr-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-nss-1.7.3-2.ydl.1 mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.3-2.ydl.1
You should carefully review this list and decide which of these are relevant to creating a developer environment for firefox.

Uhm, what would you want in firefox-devel?
