What you need is the 1.2 branch.  This can be done by using the redhat
default, helix gnome, the 1.2 tarballs, or CVS.  To use gtk 1.2 out of cvs
do 'cvs get -r gtk-1-2 gtk+', or if you already have gtk+ you can do 
'cvs update -r gtk-1-2' in the gtk+ directory.  You want to do the same
thing for glib (-r glib-1-2), gnome-libs (-r gnome-libs-1-0), and
gnome-xml (-r LIB_XML_1_X)

You should be able to use imlib out of gnome-cvs if you use the GNOME 1.0
branches (as described above).

Similarly, using branches should be fine.

I would actually just suggest using tarballs for most of the components,
but if you really want to use cvs, you can check out the appropriate
branches.
