updating gnome is a rather involved project - generally with redhat
distributions, you could go to rawhide and download and install
'unsupported/experimental' packages but now that redhat has released
fedora, the rawhide packages might not be suitable for RH 9

If your aim is to get to gnome 2.4, you should probably just update to
fedora. Below is list of gnome labelled packages in fedora...
