Gnome and X



What is the relationship between Gnome and X? Gnome seeks to build a
"desktop", but will this desktop rely on a certain level of X
compatibility or is it separate from X? I guess I just don't understand
what runs on top of what and how all the pieces talk to each other. Is
this right (for RedHat Linux):

Linux Kernel <-> XFree86 <-> Gnome <-> Enlightenment <-> Netscape

Is the above "general layout" correct?

Please let me know where I am going astray...
