Most likely no; gnomehide moved into rawhide a while back, when it
acquired fontconfig/Xft2/redhat-artwork and other rawhide
dependencies.

A new gnomehide may be appearing that's based on rawhide, once we
release rawhide as a stable version.

It's probably possible to get the rawhide SRPMs to build on 7.3
without _that_ much effort, but you'd have to know a lot about gnome
and RPMs.
