Locians, I came across some articles at the "RedHat Knowledge Base" about Gnome. (I think they come from the "whitepapers".) A few of these may be good to read if you want an introduction to some of the Gnome technologies we are planning on using in Loci: Gnome Technologies http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/gtg/ Gnome Components http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/Components/ CORBA and Gnome http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/ORBit/ Gnome Canvas http://www.redhat.com/knowledgebase/canvas/ Cheerios.
