If you are willing to test, run Fedora Rawhide.
Gnome will not be updated in FC4 - other than bug fixes.
Upgrading gnome would break some apps that depend upon the older shared
libraries - and thus, would require massive rebuilds (and some patches)
of software on the system.

That happens - in Fedora Rawhide - where it eventually becomes the next
Fedora Core release. They welcome testers. Me - I only run rawhide when
they come out with the first development snapshot of next release, it is
too likely to be broken other than that.
