Now maybe I'm missing something here, but how can you have downloaded all
the needed RPMs if you don't know which ones you need?  
To try to answer your questions: When I want to "clean" my RPM based GNOME
install, I'll start by 'rpm -e gnome-core', which will fail, because of
dependancies.  I'll then extend the list of rpms that I uninstall until I
get gnome-core to uninstall, and then I'll do the same with every other
package that contains gnome (you can find this out by running 'rpm -qa |grep
gnome').  It's slow and tedious, but it makes for a very clean upgrade,
especially if you remove .gnome* from your home directory.
