Well, if you've already double-checked the listing of RPMs on your CD,
I'd recommend rpmfind.net. That is where I got some of these. Also,
someone else on this list recommended doing the full upgrade to the
latest gnome (which I then did), which gets you most of these things. I
have RH 6.2, so presumably I had more things to upgrade than you.
