    python-gnome2 is not a hard requirement but a fallback if glade-libs-3 is not available. I think I'll change the RPM spec to remove these sorts of dependencies - people can then install what they like - makes it harder on them, of course, they might have to read installation instructions. Unless there's a better way to do it, of course - how to support people on older systems as well as the new?

    One exception to this is gnome-python2-gconf - while I was looking the other way, it was superceded by GSettings/dconf. It will need some work to convert.

    Version 3.0.1 removes all python-gnome2 code

    Awesome, thank you. Too bad 3.0.1 fails to compile OOTB, but I think those problems should be easy to fix.
