I have also had this problem.  I can't offer a solution, but I can add
that using the gtkglarea rpm from red-carpet (ximian) does not work,
either.  Tried uninstalling w/ red-carpet to allow the install script to
do its thing, also to no avail.  Rpm database seems to be intact, as I
tried --rebuilddb and met same end result.
