Correct assumption. x86 arch before and after.
These RPMs are installed and report no verification problems, hence
Bluecurve is installed.
I have been doing some reading of Gnome, its configuration and GConf.
gconftool-2 -R / | grep 'no value set' | wc -l
Reports 554 unset values. Some of them look relevant. Is there a way to
on mass reset all my GConf settings to those Bluecurve sets?

Mike
