	I know that.  I never said that mozilla was in any way dependent on
GNOME but that parts of GNOME are dependent on specific mozilla builds.

	I'm saying that GNOME and parts of it depend on mozilla.  Yes, it's the
way RH (and other distros as well) have configured things.  Yes it's a
tad annoying.  But the benefits of running a mostly stock (with updates)
redhat release outweigh the annoyances 90% of the time.  The guts of it
are good, as with any distro, but the UI options of GNOME and KDE suck
particularly because of the intertwining and overlapping of things.  The
one thing I'll miss from xfce3 is that the whole thing was one big
package.  I do like what xfc4 is doing and it really beats the hell out
of the other options.  But that doesn't mean I still miss the simpler
ways.
