So you bring up another interesting topic!  How can I blow away Gnome1
without breaking anything?  How can I know which apps and components are
Gnome1 vs. Gnome2?  

I use the Gentoo distro w/ Portage and it's easy for me to "unmerge"
packages, but not so easy to determine that I haven't blown away
something that something else might depend on.
