That didn't work too well.  When I upgraded everything to 3.4 and reboot
the computer just to make sure, when I log into gnome, everything looks
like it is a really old gtk blocky look.  I remember having this problem
on this computer or another one recently but I don't remember how I
fixed it.  This is no good at all.

Here is what is in my .xsession-errors now:
