[PLUG] gnome problems


a while back, I got some help getting rid of some of the unwanted 
effects of an evolution install.  With help from this list and a very 
helpful guy named Mark Gordon on the Evolution list, I was able to 
restore the kdm login and jpilot/pilot-link.  All I wanted to do was to 
run evolution as an MUA so that I could get mail when occasionally 
using gnome instead of firing up kmail and the kdelibs in gnome.

I believe that it was Mark who advised me that uninstalling the 
gnome-pilot and pilot-link.ximian packages and reinstall jpilot and the 
basic pilot-link would reinvigor jpilot synching while keeping the MUA 
capabilities of evolution.

On this list, I got help changing /etc/sysconfig/desktop to restore kdm.

That worked for a while, but now gnome won't load and evolution won't 
run under windowmaker either.

Gnome seems to load, but no panel and no desktop icons.  Just 
wallpaper.  My only option is ctrl+alt+<backspace>.

Trying to launch evolution from a terminal in windowmaker indicates 
that the launching script or binary is gone.

Red carpet seems to be gone too, except the directories are still there.

I don't have a clue what happened.
