While I haven't tried the 1.2 release, the previous versions
of GNOME tarballs have been pretty easy to turn into RPMS using the
"rpm -tb" command line switch. Occasionally, I've had to untar a tarball
and correct version numbers, etc., but for the most part this has been
a trivial procedure.
I agree that it would be nice if RH RPMS of the bleeding edge
were available somewhere, but building the RPMS yourself is pretty
easy to do.
