KDE Sucks, whats the idea behind single click icons? Its stupid. And its clunky, bluecurce will hack both there asses but bluecurve is gnome based.

Uh, turn on the "double-click" checkbox if you don't like single click. As far as functionality and configurability KDE is still light years better than Gnome2/BlueCurve in my opinion. But Gnome2/BlueCurve is functional enough for me to continue using it on RH8, only because RH screwed up the fonts so Konqueror looks like crap and I don't feel like farting with it.
I almost feel like removing all the default RedHat8 desktop environments and reinstalling a default KDE system. But I don't have anything against either desktop environment and I wish them both success. They both have been doing a great job and I like choice.

I just browsed around their FTP archive and it appears to be all there:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/desktop/2.1/2.1.0/sources/
And they probably have a CVS repository. And I see the 2.1 ximian RPMS on rpmfind.net. And you can probably download the entire ball of wax from ximian.com.

is there some way to make wget dl the actual file? When i dl the source it just creates lots of symlinks to ../../../../../../*.tar.gz (* = package name)

i had the opportunity to visit andy hertzfeld a few years ago and he was working on the gnome project. so i would say that it might be his influence you're recognizing.??
