To those who slammed my statment above about what GNOME's goal's are/were I give you a quote form
Miguel about Gnome 1.0

"GNOME is going to [help Linux] reach a much bigger marketplace and a lot more users," said Miguel de Icaza, the project's lead developer. "We also want to go to the desktops of people who are not computer experts."

Read the news links of the Gnome site for more of the same.   Gnome is not about its Manifesto, it is far bigger than that now.
