I agree, but I don't know what packages I can remove without blowing up something that I do want to be able to use. I wouldn't mind removing Gnome and Gnome Classic, but I still want to be able to use evince and Gnome Terminal, for example.
You could find out what packages the .desktop files belong to (when they are back in their original location):
rpm -qf /usr/share/xsessions/gnome*
Then remove the corresponding package(s) using yum. Obviously, check for the removal of packages which are important to you before you commmit.
