Fedora and the BSDs makes use of libexecdir.  FHS and most other linux
distributions do not.  If you look at how gnome panel applets are
placed, you'll see that upstream installs them to libexecdir.  Fedora
follows this.  Debian sets libexecdir to /usr/lib and installs the
applets there.

It's safe to install to libexecdir on Fedora.
