I had exactly the same problem. Being too lazy to compile it myself, I just grabbed the Rad Hat packages from one of Gnome mirrors and converted them with 'alien' and then installed with dpkg (yes, I know that "alien -i" would also install them for me). It mostly worked, though some of the Gnome features do not seem to work, like adding applets to the panel (or maybe I screwed the configuration in the process) Hope this helps. bst rgds, Dmitry --Optimists study English.
