These are yum plugins.

You want these:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.py
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/_dbus.pyo

These packages are installed by dbus-python. The system-config-display 
package has an explicit Requires: dbus-python, so somehow you got 
system-config-display installed without its required prerequisite: 
dbus-python.

If you tried to reinstall system-config-display, it should tell you that 
you're missing dbus-python.
