Thanks to all who replied. I followed the instructions below, and installed
Ximian Gnome. Installation proceeded without error. On the first reboot, I
get the desktop. However, I get 4 messages "The HELP sidebar panel
encountered an error and can't continue. If this keeps happening you might
want to turn the panel off." This is repeated for HISTORY NEWS and NOTES.
After clicking OK on all 4 messages, I get the desktop, and stuff seems to
work. Any idea why I get those messages. Thanks again for any assistance.
