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.
Actually, the question grew out of a much more basic one, which I asked on the GNOME list and was told, why don't you build it yourself? (I now have many answers for that one!)
What I was originally looking for was the location of the gnome config file where I could manipulate the default colors in my windows (I really don't like gray). I poked and googled around some, but there are SO many gnome files I was unable to locate the one that contains this config....
Thanks.
