I've been wondering about this too. Announcements keep comming out about
important bug fixes and improvements in crucial parts of gnome like libs
and core and mc, but the rpms aren't updated.

If this is a problem for the busy gnome guys, does anyone reading this
list know of another source apart from the gnome archives where more
recent rpms may be floating around?

Lots of folks are using the rpms, and trying them out for the first
time, it seems a shame to leave them with seriously buggy versions when
further great development work on bugfixing and other improvements has
been done since then.
