My "required list" of packages so far is:

glib
gtk+
imlib
ORBit
gnome-xml
gnome-http
guile-core
libgtop		<- not *required* but much of GNOME "goes away" without it
gnome-libs
gnome-objc
gnome-core

But some things are not "GNOME RPMs" but are still prerequisites (e.g. IMlib), 
and RH includes certain GNOME components in the base system (because they're 
used by control-panel etc.).

I don't see that... but the panel SEGV's when an applet tries to connect to it.
(I've been having problems getting gnome-libs updates, however, because the 
mh69.mh.cuc.edu anoncvs mirror still aborts gnome-libs checkout/update with 
"cannot find required module libart_lgpl".)
