Yeah, i checked that also, now this is where things get weird.
ximian has installed its own packages for this...

keiran@Mortesia$ rpm -qa |grep -i orbit
ORBit-0.5.12-ximian.1
ORBit-devel-0.5.12-ximian.1
keiran@Mortesia$

I just wonder if these have conflicts with some applications
I am guessing it would be a bad thing to install both sets ;P
