someone asked, why id prefer a more upstream version of gnome AND KDE. opposed To the red hat customized versions... its simple I think the "redhat changes" in the desktop environment--overstep certain boundaries, really making it harder to upgrade, the said environments. and customize to my liking the look and feel of my computer.
I'd have to disagree. Red Hats modification of the default GNOME desktop is by far a more professional unified look. It's one of the best looking gnome desktops in a distribution period. If they went with a default GNOME redhat/fedora would loose alot of appeal to me, personally.

As a GNOME user, I would even like it better if most of what Redhat changes in the default GNOME was changed in upstream GNOME. For example, I would *love* to see Bluecurve (GTK style, icons and metacity theme) become GNOME's default theme. But I understand that for branding reasons, Redhat wouldn't like that though.

I like Ximian Desktop 2.
I just decided during the weekend to finaly jump in the deep end and did a yum install of Fedora Core 1 over Redhat 9 on my main machine. So I took out the ximian rpms as per the instructions.
For the moment gnome is almost working again. I am missing the main menu a lot...
Another thing that happened is KDE was installed on a machine where there was no KDE before. yum upgrade is a little over zealous maybe? Yes I did hav QT libs for those apps that need them.
If anybody has an idea why I have the redhat menu in KDE and not in gnome advice greatly appreciated.
