I don't know if gnorpm will work, but using the command line is much
easier.

rpm -Uvh gnome*

and the other rpms you might want to update.

And if you don't use enlightenment, you have to do a 
rpm -Uvh --nodeps gnome-core* to make it ignore the enlightenment
dependency (gnome-core is not dependent on enlightenment, it is just
the rpm packages that are made this way)

And also the gnome-libs file is dependant on some audiofile or
something for some reason. If you don't have a sound card do the same
here.
