The best way I know to find the version is to just look at the version
of the gnome packages, gnome-core in particular.
I believe that would be "rpm -q gnome-core" for redhat users, but I
forget.
Also, I don't recall if that actually matches the official gnome version
number exactly, but the first two digits should match (e.g., 1.4, 2.2).
