Read the archives of the gnome-redhat-list - I had a long discussion
with him there about it - the gist is - it will take a fair bit of work
to fix this problem.

rhl9 with _mostly_ their standard gnome 2.2. Newer evo than they shipped
and a handful of other apps and applets, mostly from fedora or freshrpms
then rebuilt for our internal use.
