I liked the slick Ximian look myself when I installed it once long ago. That was before Red Hat Network came around. Then I wanted to upgrade to another Red Hat release, but the Release Notes had this nastygram about issues with Ximian Gnome, and I didn't know how to uninstall it. So I did a fresh install rather than an upgrade of the new Red Hat release. I don't know if Ximian has an uninstaller. Maybe it does. Have you checked their web site to see what needs to be done if you want to uninstall it?
