Both of these libraries should be in a newer gtk+ package, which is
apparently not installed.  Make sure you have from the FTP site (or a
mirror) the following files:
  glib-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm      (I'm assuming that you aren't using an
  glib10-1.0.6-4.i386.rpm     alpha or sparc machine)
  gtk+-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm
  gtk+10-1.0.6-4.i386.rpm

Then install all of them.  The best way is to use a single command to
install them all:

$ rpm -Uvh glib-1.2.0-1.i386.rpm glib10-1.0.6-4.i386.rpm gtk+-1.2.0-2.i386.rpm gtk+10-1.0.6-4.i386.rpm

The 1.2 version is needed for GNOME.  The 1.0.6 version is useful for
backwards compatibility with older programs that use GTK+ (such as the
Gimp).  Then you should be able to run the "ldd /usr/bin/gnome-session"
command and not see any lines saying "not found".

Best of Luck,
