Maybe I'm misunderstanding something fundamental. Is "Gnome" nothing more than the collection of applications like Evolution and Epiphany and the little game with the colored marbles?

Sure they have dependencies, you might need X........
Now, I understand that epiphany and so forth can be installed via their own ports. But the "gnome2" package installs epiphany and evolution and gnomegames and assorted other gnomecrappitycrap (I'm sure it's wonderful stuff, no offense intended by this choice of words). Gnome2 "depends" upon the little game with the colored marbles. But I just want the Gnome desktop without that game, and so forth.
But if I'm right that Gnome is nothing more than gnomecrappitycrap et al, then maybe what I'm really looking for would be the Windows Manager that Gnome uses by default? That is, Metacity? Maybe?
I'm sorry if these are stupid questions - I'm mostly new to this, and am confused as to the roles of (Gnome/KDE/Whatever) versus (Metacity/WindowMaker/Whatever).
Personally I want the moon on a stick.
I'm sorry, I can't help you with that.
Thanks,
