Thanks.

Well, since RedHat 9.0 currently supports version 2.2, I guess I'll
soon be two minor releases behind.  Or does Gnome also use the
even-numbers-for-production-releases convention?

At any rate, it looks like I'm stuck with the 'rm' solution for a
while.  Well, I guess it could be worse ...

Of course, I suppose I could debian-ize myself and possibly get a
newer Gnome more quickly.
