Oh and BTW you wouldn't have installed gimp-2.0.1-5 (which req's old
libcroco) if you hadn't used the FC2 repos. Now some people might argue
that any package from a later distro version should be greater than the
ones from an older one rpm-wise, but this is only true for final
releases. With development stuff, expect things to break, you may
complain if they don't ;-).

Enough kidding and off into vacation,
