A possibly easier way to achieve the above (for the "daring"): Just log into a text console (possibly from single user mode, or do "telinit 3" to shut down the gnome login screen), and then: rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep ximian` (The "backticks" around the "inner" half of the command cause its output to be used as the command line of the outer half). If it complains about dependencies etc. you might have to use --nodeps or maybe even --force with the -e. > This will leave your machine unusable as a gnome machine.

That should work.
