| 	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.

| 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.
