Re: Couple of possibly really stupid questions!

It is not necessary to upgrade to the CVS version of Enlightenment.  I wouldn't
recommend it since Sean sounds like he is new to Linux and he probably
does not know how to use CVS.  I would recommend getting the updated GNOME
rpms, which includes a new version of Enlightenment, from either:

ftp://ftp.inconnect.com/pub/unix/linux/redhat-6.0/contrib-updates/

ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/RHAD/

Hope this helps,

Michael ROGERS> If you delete .gnome/ and .gnome_private/, Gnome will create them again with

Michael ROGERS> In an xterm, type "save-session --kill".
