This suggestion is a shot in the dark, but it's easy to try. :-)

My theory:

The various Gnome RPMs are installed under /usr , but the default when
you run configure (or autogen.sh, which runs configure for you) is to
put things under /usr/local .  So Bonobo, ORBit, etc., are going to wind
up installing under /usr/local and (I assume) looking for support files
there as well.

So, try running autogen.sh --prefix=/usr instead of just autogen.sh;
this should cause all the code you're compiling to install under /usr
and look for support files there.

Best of luck,

Nathan
