I am using XD2 but I really don't see the benefit of it. I think Gnome was just as good if not better. I know Ximian is based on Gnome but it seems that there is no advantage to having one over the other. The only good thing I have seen from Ximian is perhaps evolution.
So, after much consideration, I have decided that I would like to purge XD2 Desktop and put my system back like it was, so that I can use apt to upgrade my gnome packages the right way?
I want to keep evolution 1.4.4 but that is about it.
1. Am I on the right track? 2. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks,

I'd back up your evolution stuff (just to be safe, it's probably not necessary). I think it's just ~/evolution but I haven't used it in awhile. Then use Yast2, kpackage, gnorpm, or synaptic to remove xd2 and anything else with ximian in its name. Then use apt / synaptic to get James' gnome packages from usr-local-bin ... replace ximian with usr-local-bin in sources.list. James offers a evolution as well.
