try doing a 'yum list imlib' it should show you a .i386 and a .x86_64 
pkg. Its possible that your dependancy is for the .i386 pkg while its 
the x86_64 pkg that is installed on the machine.

yum _should_ resolve deps correctly to pull in 32 bit or 64bit rpm's as 
required ( insure you have an exactarch=1 in the /etc/yum.conf file ).

If you can, send me via private offlist email with the complete output 
from :

yum grouplist
yum groupinfo "GNOME Desktop Environment"
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

You might want to create a .rpmmacros file in the user's home directory 
( and/or in /root ) with an entry like this :

%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}

so that all your rpm querries will then show {arch} as well as 
pkgname-version-release ( and make it look like yum's output )
