gnome.org only takes you to ximian if you click on their "Helix Code" 
link (they haven't updated the name yet). They (gnome.org) have a page 
devoted to installing from stable source tarballs. I had to build some 
parts from source since I had a problem which was causing the automatic 
helix/ximian install to fail. Here is the page:
