Hi all folks, Further to my late posting listed at the bottom of this posting as hereunder; I'm in complete perplexity of Gnome desktop behaviour. On GUI login Gnome-Session as USER, displaying KDE theme and icons. Right click on bottom menu bar showed 'About Gnome'. Selecting 'Help' it started 'Gnome 2.6 Desktop User Guide. On teminal window $ nautilus [ENTER] It started 'Nautilus''. On its top menu bar, Help -> About It started 'About Nautilus - Nautilus 2.6.0' I think Gnome desktop has been started but its appearance was KDE. Why all Gnome applications got lost? An icon named 'Link to Old Desktop' was dislplayed on screen. Opening it showed 3 icons inside User Home Start Here Trash Clicking 'Start Here' started Nautilus window. Inside it there were 3 icons Application Preference System Settings Inside 'Application' no Gnome applications found, only KDE applications. Clicking 'System Settings' started another Nautilus window where displayed several icons. 'Add/Remove Application' was amongst them. Clicking 'Add/Remove Applications' icon started 'Package Management' window,(root password required). Clicking 'Details' on Gnome Desktop row showed most Gnome application have been selected. It is extremely funny. Any comment/advice would be appreciated.

Following Gnome packages are installed on FC2; $ rpm -qa | grep gnome libgnomeprint11-0.25-ximian.7 (no) gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.9-0.ximian.5.1 gnome-python2-2.0.0-4.1 gnome-icon-theme-1.2.0-1-1.4.1.2.90-40.i386.rpm gdk-pixbuf-gnome-0.22.0-5.0.1 gnome-vfs2-smb-2.6.0-8 libgnomeprint-1.116.0-10 gnome-session-2.6.0-4 pygnome-libglade-1.4.2-3 (no) gnome-spell1.0-1.0.4-0.ximian.5.1 (no) libgnomeprint22-2.6.0-1 libgnomeprint15-0.37-9 gnome-print-devel-0.37-9 pygnome-devel-1.4.2-3 gnome-vfs2-2.6.0-8 gnome-python2-bonobo-2.0.0-4.1 gnome-python2-canvas-2.0.0-4.1 system-switch-mail-gnome-0.5.25-1 gnome-spell-1.0.5-4.1 openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-34 gnome-panel-2.6.0-9 gnome-audio-1.4.0-7 libgail-gnome-1.0.2-3.1 gnome-terminal-2.6.0-2 gnome-python2-applet-2.0.0-4.1 licq-gnome-1.2.7-3 redhat-switch-printer-gnome-0.5.16-1 (no) gnome-pilot-2.0.9-0.ximian.5.2 (no) ethereal-gnome-0.10.5-0.2.2 (ethereal-gnome-0.10.3-2) pygnome-1.4.2-3 (no) gnome-mime-data-2.4.1-4 gnome-keyring-0.2.0-1 libgnomecanvas-2.6.0-1 gnome-desktop-2.6.0.1-1 gnomemeeting-1.0.2-2 (no) gnome-user-docs-2.6.0.1-2 gnome-utils-2.6.0-2 gnome-vfs-extras-0.2.0-8.1 gnome-vfs-devel-1.0.5-18 gnome-print-0.37-9 gnome-libs-devel-1.4.1.2.90-40 gnome-applets-2.6.2.1-1 gnome-pilot-applet-2.0.9-0.ximian.5.2 (no) gnome-python2-gtkhtml2-2.0.0-4.1 libgnomecups-0.1.6-7 gnome-games-2.6.0.1-2 libgnomeprintui22-2.6.0-1 up2date-gnome-4.3.19-1 gnome-system-monitor-2.6.0-3 gnome-vfs-1.0.5-18 libgnomeui-2.6.0-3 gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-40 gnome-media-2.6.0-1 gnome-audio-extra-1.4.0-7 libgnomeprintui-1.116.0-6.1 libgnome-2.6.0-3 The above packages with (no) at their ends could not be found on FC2 mirror sites. I suppose they were carried forwards from RH8.0, not necssary for FC2. I'm prepared to erase all of them. ethereal-gnome-0.10.5-0.2.2 (ethereal-gnome-0.10.3-2) older version 'ethereal-gnome-0.10.3-2' found on FC2 mirror site. I suppose the newer version resulted from 'yum update' Now I have all of them downloaded to ~/user/Download/FC2/Gnome_packages/ I'm prepared to run # rpm -Fvh ~/user/Download/FC2/Gnome_packages/*.rpm hoping to solve dependencies problem. Any advice/comment would be appreciated.
