Fetch the SRPM and change the

%define prefix /usr

to

%define prefix /usr/local

in the SPEC file. You can then rebuild the RPM and get a binary one that
installs in /usr/local.

Note that GNOME RPMS are normally *NOT* relocable (the panel will look in
/usr/share/pixmaps and so on) so it will probable not work if you simply
install them somewhere else (with `rpm --prefix', probable you also need
to use `--force', I don't tried this out).
