Just get the 1.2.6 RPMs and all your problems will be solved.

If you "upgrade" rather than "install" the RPMs then 1.2.6 will
automatically replace 1.2.3. via the command line, use "rpm -Uvh
<whatever>.rpm" to upgrade. I'm not sure about gnorpm.

No, don't worry about it, it will just work fine.

No need, if you use the RPMs.

Yes, it can be problematic. You don't need 1.2.3 anymore though, so
that simplifies things.

They certainly are available, one simple way to get them is to upgrade
to Red Hat 6.2, but you can also just download the new GTK from 6.2
and install that. 6.2 has a program called up2date that can make this
a bit simpler. However since you have 6.0 you'll want to use the ftp
site:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/redhat-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
