You *could*, I believe, uninstall GNOME and reinstall it.
(Incidentally there is a "yum reinstall" which is preferable to a separate uninstall and install if you do need to do this, though I don't think it works for package groups - need to know what the actual problem is.)
As a slight aside, one thing about "yum reinstall" that I find strange is that it does not reinstall the dependencies (unless there needs to be some other flag to make that happen).
Example:
$ sudo yum reinstall libRmath Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove- : with-leaves Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * fedora: mirrors.servercentral.net * rpmfusion-free: mirror.nexcess.net * rpmfusion-free-updates: mirror.nexcess.net * rpmfusion-nonfree: mirror.nexcess.net * rpmfusion-nonfree-updates: mirror.nexcess.net * updates: mirrors.servercentral.net Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package libRmath.x86_64 0:3.0.1-2.fc18 will be reinstalled --> Finished Dependency Resolution

when we do have dependencies (libRmath-devel) also installed. In my view both should be reinstalled.
