Now ... this seems a really silly question ... but I will ask it anyway.
You do fully have Gnome installed on the server in question, right?
well, at this point, I'm ready for questions that might seem really silly! bring 'em on :-)
I'm new to gnome, but I assume its all there because: I did a clean install of CentOS 5, and have done "yum update" several times since. I use gnome at the console, no issues. a crisp looking gnome desktop pops up when I use vnc to connect from the same mac client to the same centos 5 server. (in my ~/.vnc/xstartup file, the final call is "gnome-session &")
so, while I certainly don't know my way around gnome, I would think that the big chunks are all there at least. I have ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 and ~/.gnome2_private
ls /usr/bin/gnome* | wc
returns 68 things (see below). not sure where else to look for gnome stuff
