I removed a lot of my GNOME 1.x desktop packages a while ago. :-) Works
fine...

> rhn_register-gnome-1.3.1-1

A lot of the Red Hat stuff is made with python, so you might not want to
remove these if you care about RHN stuff.

> gnome-libs-devel-1.2.8-11

You can remove all the devel packages unless you want to build other GNOME 1
stuff.

> gnome-pim-1.2.0-9

There's no tarball release of gnome-pim for 2.x, so you might want to keep
this if you don't want it.

There's lots of other libraries and stuff without "gnome" appearing in their
package name. Nautilus, eel, for instance.
