ok, i just reinstalled Redhat 7.1 with only TWM and used Redcarpet to install Ximian Gnome, the install went perfict (almost) just one problem, i can only launch Mozilla either loged in as root or opening a terminal and doing the SU and launching it from the terminal, i went to /usr/bin/ and changed the propertys for mozilla to my user account but it did not change the problem, i bet somebody knows just what to do to fix this, (help please) thansk in advance

it's probably because you don't have /usr/bin or /sbin or whatever in your path. locate the path to mozilla and add it as ff: export PATH=$PATH:/insert_path_to_mozila_here

nope, it is not is the propertys of the shortcut in the panel menu or in /usr/bin/ there must be some global propertys somewhere...

In the users home directory, add

PATH=$PATH:/path_to_mozilla

export PATH

to whatever script your distro uses.

i.e.

.bashrc
.profile
.bashrc-private

maybe i will give Gnome another chance on my desktop some other day when it is more polished...
