I have trouble believing that the ONLY ways to get a newer GNOME are to wait for CentOS 6, run a different distro (not likely) or build it myself. This is Linux, after all, isn't it? (That's a rhetorical question - no answer required, unless those /really are/ the only options....)
I am not sure you can have your cake and eat it too on a single machine. At the very least, building a newer Gnome for CentOS 5 sounds like a big timesink. There are probably all kinds of library issues.
If you'd like the latest desktop apps, then perhaps it would be easier to choose Fedora or Ubuntu for your desktop, and connect to your more stable CentOS 5 servers remotely. Or, run Fedora or Ubuntu in a VM.
