ack....not to step on anyones toes or to piss anyone off, but the above 
comments really bug me.   Most of the problems he is experiencing are not 
redhat specific.  They are gnome2 specific.   They are known issues with 
gnome 2.  They can all be resolved by downgrading to gnome1.4 (which, I 
believe, redhat 8 ships with).  

Although I agree the x.0 arent the most polished releases from redhat, 
generally they do work :)

my .02.  if theres change, donate to the EFF :)

doh.  i think I borked my earlier response.  I read 'IRC' not 'IRQ' (would 
that be 'ICQ' by any chance?)  if so, disregard my 'xchat' comment :)
