>	GNOME stands for GNU Network Object Model Environment. The GNOME
	project intends to build a complete, user-friendly desktop based
	entirely on free software. GNOME is part of the GNU project. The
	desktop will consist of small utilities and larger applications which
	share a consistent look and feel. GNOME uses GTK as the GUI toolkit
	for all GNOME-compliant applications.
