Gnome-core 1.0.7 depends on at least gnome-libs 1.0.8, so you will
need to d/l the latest libs.

You do not need core 1.0.4, this is what you already have! The
complaint if *from* gnome-core-devel 1.04, which needs
gnome-core-1.04 and doesn't like you removing it by upgrading to 1.0.7.
If you upgrade one, you must upgrade both. A devel package must match the
version number of its companion package.

Tom.
