Since I am not home to use X (don't have it setup to use remotely), I 
decided to check Ximian's ftp site. I noticed:

ncftp /pub/gnome-2-snapshot > ls -all
drwxr-xr-x   5 distro   users          61 May 11 08:55 .
drwxr-xr-x  15 distro   root         4096 Jun 19 18:03 ..
drwxr-xr-x   3 distro   users         152 Nov  1  2001 common
drwxr-xr-x   3 distro   users       61440 Jun 21 10:53 redhat-72-i386
drwxr-xr-x   3 distro   users       16384 Jun 21 10:53 redhat-73-i386

Rats! No 7.1! I guess 7.1 (only had it for over a year!) is obsolete to 
Ximian :(.
