A lot of standard programs like open office and firefox use gtk for things like the file and print dialogs in the fedora builds. Firefox even uses it for form widgets I believe. If you remove gnome it removes gtk+ and any other apps that use gtk+. The correct way to go about it is to install the apps from a base install. They will pull in the correct dependencies. -- John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
