Yes, when I bring up Synaptic and search for Gnome, I get a list of four
files (listed under the "Graphical Desktop/GNOME" package group):
GConf2, gnome-settings, icons-BlueSphere, and ibGConf2. Each are listed
as "Installed Versions" although "gnome-settings" has an Inst. Size of
zero.

I should be able to manage that. Can I just simply add the Sisyphus
"base" repositories to the enabled Synaptic list? This would be the URI
"ftp://ftp.altlinux.com/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus.

I'm not sure.
