The suse gnome rpms break the earlier rpms that Jan did for the German
site. I am unsure about a course of action. I backed out of all the
suse rpms completely and restored the system to Jan's rpms by having to
rpm --force all the things. This was not a good thing.
You can actually install the gtkn and glibn as well as gtk and glib.
The authors knowingly provided this so that a later version could be
installed for applications. This was communicated to me on the gnome
mailing list by a suse rep. I had problems using rpms with the tarball
gtk and glib libs installed. I went back and installed the glibn and
gtkn and then placed the gtk and glib rpms from the suse 6 cd set on my
system also. This made it possible for me to install gimp 1.0.2 from
the cd set.
As far as the suse rpms go, I have no answer. I think I will back out
of all the gnome rpms that Jan did and try to use the suse ones. I
installed the core, the libs, and control center and gnome broke
completely.
