The Red Hat up2date covers a lot more than just "RedHat Gnome", plus to 
some degree you can configure it so it's only sending you the e-mails 
you want.  I find up2date very helpful for getting upgrades to their 
system packages - things that aren't part of Ximian Gnome obviously 
(like when SendMail has a vulnerability fix).

The Red Hat channel that's on Red Carpet isn't really a good tool for 
the security/bugfix stuff because frankly it lags significantly behind 
the Red Hat Network (up2date) information, plus (as you've seen) it 
sometimes runs counter to the Ximian Gnome channel.  I'd say keep 
up2date and Red Carpet, but unsubscribe from the Red Hat channel.
