Last time when I tried installing GNOME into other prefix than /usr, I 
could build it, but at runtime it missed lot of functionality. Icons 
were missing, lot of env vars were needed to be set (and I hate setting 
them), namely python modules path, xdg env vars (don't know the right 
name), PATH, man path, info path and such ...

With all of these, it still wasn't working. I can recommend looking at 
jhbuild or ostree and see if you can use them to install gnome into 
other prefix than /usr.
