# Slackware 9.0's 'gnome-desktop' package includes version 2.2.0.1, 9.1's
# includes 2.4.0, 10.0 and 10.1's include 2.6.2  As of Slackware 10.2,
# Gnome is no longer included.

# releases of Gnome.  Keep in mind that I only actually use the Gnome
# 2.16.x one.

# run 'make uninstall' (as root), remove the source directory, then remove
# the tarball.
