I defined a GNOME_PATH variable, which includes the paths to all GNOME
trees I have installed.  For instance, when I configured gtkhtml (or any
of the other software from CVS), I used a command line like
GNOME_PATH="/usr:/home/john/Gnome" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/home/john/Gnome.

The compiles, installs, and some random tests of the installed stuff seemed
to work.  I'm not in-the-know enough yet about Bonobo to test it, though.

Whenever I run GNOME software now, I also have the GNOME_PATH variable
defined.

I don't use Helix GNOME.  I rebuild RPMS from the tarballed packages, using
rpm -ta --clean gbeermeister-2.0.0.tar.gz, or the like.  So, all of the
"stable" (tarballed) packages are installed by RPM in /usr, as usual.
