Well I've been keeping my shop box as up to date as possible everyday 
with yum, just to see what's being developed, and I'm up to gnome 
2.11.90 as of today. I think it's the nrpms repo that upgrades gnome, 
here's what to add to your /etc/yum.repos.d/:

_nrpms.repo_:
[nrpms]
name=Fedora Core 4 - i386 - nr production
baseurl=http://yum.nrpms.net/fedora-4-i386/production
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

That should get you up to the latest. I'm not sure how long it takes for 
the new version to become available, probably not that long. Be VERY 
careful when you upgrade gnome though. A lot of things may break, or 
change. Try not to upgrade your gdm too, and the latest version doesn't 
seem to be working right for me now, and I haven't had a chance to 
figure it out yet. Hope that helps.
