Looks like it's called gtk2
    http://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/scientificlinux.org/4x/i386/SL/RPMS/gtk2-2.4.13-14.i386.rpm
which is not exactly modern.  It seems like a Fedora/RH derivative
which explains the lack of gnumeric.  Leaving gnumeric out seems
like an odd choice for a distribution targeting science.
