Hi Bill:

Thanks for your suggestions. The problem was that I had installed the
following packages:

gtk2-engines-aurora.i586
gtk2-engines-candido.i586

in my Fedora x86_64, which pulled the dependencies.

But now, I have packaged the engines Candido and Aurora for 64-bit and
then I removed all the 32-bit dependencies installed before without any
problems.

Thanks,
Germán.
