Leonard,
gnome.org takes you to the Ximian website, last I checked. Also, I don't
recommend compiling Gnome from source, as this is an extremely daunting
task. There are way too many gnome modules and apps to install. The RPM
install alone is almost 120 packages. Also, I believe that there are no
Gnome tarballs available either.
