I wrote this before I saw the above comment from Kevin Kofler:

Perhaps you have left out kdelibs from ksmarttray requirements in purpose
because rpm will add the library files as automatic file deps anyway. It seems
the majority of the packages doesn't say they require glibc for example. They
just require libc.so.6 as an automatic file dep.

So this wasn't important really. And if you think about it, I'd say the file
deps are in a sense more accurate even as they only require what is absolutely
necessary and also don't take a stand about which package should provide them
(less to maintain in the spec file). Well, you can't think the auto deps will
always take care of everything but with C-libraries they do just that. And
kdelibs here is a package which contain C-libraries.

Good to know there is a policy about this. Kevin Kofler, can you say if there's
also policy for the gui package name issue and the rpm version number issue? A
policy would define what to do here so we would not have to argue about this matter.

So just forget about the first issue, only two left if you ask me (I don't count
the usermode issue because I agree with Enrico Scholz there). :)

1) smart-gtk --> smart-gui
2) rpm version numbers to requirements
