So let's get this straight.. not only do you want gtk1 as part of
Core... you want it installed by default as part of the Desktop
install?   In fc3 gtk+-1.x is part
of the "compat-arch-support"  group, and I'm pretty sure that stuff is
not part of a default Desktop.  And I am unaware of any default
application that sucks in gtk+-1.x into a desktop install as a
requirement, even gnucash and xmms are optional applications.

So assuming in fc3 doesn't install gtk+ by default... the change to
extras doesn't effectively change the level of difficulty to get the
package.  In fc3 you still have to do something unixy to get the
package installed.  Don't even bother with s-c-packages as a counter
argument. As soon as you install ANY updates from the network
s-c-packages becomes effectively useless as an operational tool
because it is unaware of the pool of updates and associated dependancy
matrix.
