LFS does not address X or Gnome.  Beyond LFS does.  However, they do not 
have Gnome 3 covered only Gnome 2 (KDE 3 & 4).  This is why I am looking 
at this method.

Maybe someone from Gnome project could make a similar reference?  I 
would consider it myself if I knew how.

Thanks for your response.
