There is no supported way to do this. This would not be easy to accomplish, but it would be theoretically possible. You would have to build gtk3 and then build all the gnome3 apps ... and then you would have to rebuild all the CentOS-6.4 packages that depend on any of the gnome2 development libraries with gnome3 as replacements. I would recommend that if you really MUST have gnome 3, you either use gnome2 now and wait for RHEL-7 to be released (then we will release CentOS-7 ... which will have gnome3) ... or that you instead use the latest Fedora as your desktop (You can get Fedora 19 now ... Fedora 18 is also still supported for 6 or so months). Remember that base CentOS is not designed to have the latest and greatest packages, it is designed to be stable and provide support for the things it is released with for 10 years. That said, if there are a number of Developers out there who would be interested in building gnome3 for the CentOS-6 branch, we do Special Interest Groups to add things to CentOS. The Xen4CentOS project is an example of this. If enough people, who have the knowledge and skill to actually build gnome3 on CentOS-6, desire a new SIG to be created then that can be done. We would need some assurances that this SIG would be there for the long haul and they would have at least one person from the upstream Gnome Project in order to form. If such a group did want to form, the CentOS-Devel mailing list would be the place for it to happen. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
