Installing Gnome into home-directory

[Loban Rahman <loban enigma caltech edu>]

I want to install gnome on a debian machine. I don't have root access and
so I want to install it in my home directory. Of course the simplest
thing to do would be do compile from source using the --prefix=~/usr
tag, but I'd like to be able to install prebuilt binaries if possible.

Is it possible? If so, how? (I know rpm and dpkg can relocate packages, but
I haven't had too much success with them, meaning I might be using them
wrong.)
