Yeah, this is a package bug in the current versions.  I've thrown
something at caillon as it's been going on for a while too long.  One
solution would be to exclude the rawhide xulrunner and stick a previous
version (xulrunner-1.9-0.beta1.1.fc9) in another repo.

`repoquery --whatrequires --alldeps xulrunner` will show you what
requires xulrunner
