I started a OpenBox session On Mageia 1 and discovered Gnome 2.32.1


It's not exactly like Gnome 2 but it's close. I have never heard or seen this version and I thought all Desktop Style DE's were obsolete from the Gnome developers, just tab stuff or Fallback mode supported.

So I guess my questions is what's the deal?

November 2010 would have been my Fedora Days

Should I assume that Gnome 2.32.1 was a short term off-shoot of Gnome 2?
