I am not sure you can have your cake and eat it too on a single machine.
At the very least, building a newer Gnome for CentOS 5 sounds like a big
timesink. There are probably all kinds of library issues.

If you'd like the latest desktop apps, then perhaps it would be easier
to choose Fedora or Ubuntu for your desktop, and connect to your more
stable CentOS 5 servers remotely. Or, run Fedora or Ubuntu in a VM.
