Any how I am sorry I sent that email before I was ready.

Thanks NoOP for your help to me and the community in general. I hope that at
least someone else will not make the same mistake unknowingly now that they
can see it here. (I am not so sure I would not have tried it if I saw that
it was one way, I just would not remove gnome3)

Thanks again.
