I have had this issue with the libwx_gtk2 packages myself.  I had to 
remove audacity and libwx_gtk2 to get past it.

I then installed then installed audacity from Dries which is version 1.3.

I just tried to install wxGTK2 and ended up with two dependencies for 
Audacity and Videolan client.  Both of these are dependent on xwGTK.

This I feel is a problem more associated with the changes to GTK than yum.

As a test, I removed wxGTK which required removing audacity and 
videolan client.

I then installed xxGTK2 from extras.  This brought in wxGTK-common as 
a dependency.  I then installed audacity from extras.  But when I 
tried to install videolan-client, I ended up with dependency issues 
between audacity, wxPythonGTK2, wxGTK2-gl and a few others.  I don't 
have time to resolve these at this time but this proves to me that the 
issue is with the individual packages and not yum.

Time to file bug complaints to the package developers over the wxGTK2 
issues.
