Well the above is your selinux error again. I'm sorry but I have no idea
what is causing that.

In which case everything has installed correctly.

Yes, that is a harmless bug in the red-carpet package. I've contacted
the packager about it.

I don't know what to say at this point. Red Carpet is normally superb at
sorting these problems out. It seems that you did indeed manage to
--force install some things you shouldn't have. Maybe your rpm databse
is in such a mess that even Red Carpet doesn't know how to solve it.
Using the --force option for rpm should only be done when you absolutely
know what you are doing. I think that you may have to do a clean install
to sort this out.
Sorry.
Best, Darren
P.S. At least if you do a clean install you won't be confused anymore by
the Bluecurve them and the new menu entries, and you'll be confident
that your system is as it should be.
