Helix Gnome 1.2 is fully included in Mdk 7.2. There can be a couple of
packages not in mdk, but are neglectible. Even some of the packages
are more up to date and bug-safe in mdk 7.2.
Helix Gnome is well suited for old distros like mdk 7.1 or rh 6.2, that
included gnome 1.0, but mdk 7.2 and rh 7.0 include full gnome 1.2
out of the box.
Solution to your problem: do a <rpm -a | grep helix> and rpm -e all
those packages or replace them with the correspondent mdk 7.2
package. Because this can be a mess, I suggest to you to boot in
runlevel 3, deinstall any package named *gnome* or *helix* and
reinstall the same from mdk CDs.
