Configuring the location of gconf-sanity-check-2

I hope this post is on-topic enough for this group (I don't see any
"gnome" newsgroups).
Quick Summary:
When I start X (which in turn starts Gnome), I get the error message:
/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2: relocation-error:
/usr/libexec/gconf-santiy-check-2: undefined symbol:
gconf_use_local_locks
gconf-savity-check-2 did not pass, logging back out
Back Story:
I'm trying to upgrade gnome-terminal (from source) on a system that was
originally a stock RH 7.3 installation. (In retrospect, it was
probably a bad idea on my part to try to upgrade from source rather
than just get the RPMs). At the moment, I'm sort of stuck, though -
one of the (many) depedencies that the latest stable version of
gnome-terminal relies on is GConf. When I installed the new GConf, I
let it install in the default of "/usr/local/"
The problem I'm having now is that gnome-session (somehow) triggers
"gconf-sanity-check-2", but it triggers the old copy in /usr/libexec,
rather than the newer one in /usr/local/libexec. However, the old
gconf-sanity-check-2 finds the newer libgconf-2.so.4 under
/usr/local/lib, which is not compatible (argh) and gives up and quits.
At the moment, my Gnome installation is unusable.
Does anybody know how to tell gnome-session to operate relative to a
new directory (/usr/local/libexec instead of /usr/libexec)? The manual
(what there is of it) doesn't even hint as to what gnome-session
actually does when it runs. I tried just changing
"gconf-sanity-check-2" to be a symlink to the newer version, but Gnome
really, REALLY didn't like that.
