So you reckon if someone got the RPM's for the complete Gnome2.2 for RH
8.0, they'd work with RH 7.3 without too much of a problem? I know that
not much really changed between RH 7.3 and RH 8.0 with the exception of
a few deps here and there...I've been struggling enough lately trying to
get my Gnome back to snuff - and if that's an easier option, then I'll
walk that road...
