I would recommend pulling the SRPMS from RawHide or from the RH9 CDs and 
'hand-building' yourself to a functional GD2.2 system.  The dependencies 
will probably be quite numerous, but at least they are covered and 
should lead you to a functioning system with the added bonus of it all 
being covered under your normal package management.  You will probably 
need to update a lot of the development environment such as GCC and the 
like which may lead to others, but in the end, it should be worth it. 
Gnome's site has a list of the order the pieces should be installed 
that you can use to guide you through the RPMS.
