Mainly maintainability -- without that change I don't have to do
anything besides using a different release tag between Rawhide/FC4 and
FC3. You could argue that FC4 gimp needs gtk >= 2.6.x because it was
built with it (I don't know whether apps built with 2.6.x could be run
against 2.4.x, I doubt it) but I don't want to encode that in the source
RPM/spec file.

Nope (you should know, you wrote the scriptlet in question ;-):

[...]
if [ -x /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache ]; then
  gtk-update-icon-cache %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor
fi
[...]
